Easy PDF generation using PISA HTML2PDF

[Dirk Holtwick-2]

Hi,

I'm the author of a pure Python module that is able to generate PDF
form HTML and CSS. You find more informations about it and a sample
integration in Django here:

http://www.htmltopdf.org

I think this could be interesting to be mentioned in your
documentation:

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/outputting_pdf/

As I do not use Django often, the sample may be not very complete. A
user of my tool send me this portion of code that should help you
integration pisa into your work:

#! /usr/bin/python
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import Context
from django.http import HttpResponse
import cStringIO as StringIO
from sx.pisa3 import pisaDocument

def html_to_pdf(content):
    '''
    Convert the html content to PDF
    '''
    result = StringIO.StringIO()
    html = StringIO.StringIO(content.encode("ISO-8859-1"))
    pdf = pisaDocument(html, result)
    if not pdf.err:
        return result.getvalue()
    return pdf

def render_to_pdf(template_src, context_dict):
    '''
    Render the template with a context. Then send the response in pdf
format.
    '''
    template = get_template(template_src)
    context = Context(context_dict)
    html  = template.render(context)
    return HttpResponse(html_to_pdf(html), 'application/pdf',
200,'application/pdf')

Hope this informations are helpful for you.

Regards,
Dirk

I have used html2pdf in the past and it is awfully easy! In one of my
apps, I had a requirement that each page be also available as pdf.
so

def view_func(self):
   ..normal processing
  if request.GET.has_key('pdf'):
        #Get the pdf template
        html = StringIO.StringIO(template.render(Context(payload)))
        result = StringIO.StringIO()
        pdf = pisa.CreatePDF(html, result)
        return HttpResponse(result.getvalue(), mimetype='application/
pdf')
