Python PDF library [closed]

Solution 1:

The two that come to mind are:

  • pyPdf2
  • PDFMiner

Solution 2:

Reportlab. There is an open source version, and a paid version which adds the Report Markup Language (an alternative method of defining your document).

Solution 3:

I already have used Reportlab in one project.

Solution 4:

There is also http://appyframework.org/pod.html which takes a LibreOffice or OpenOffice document as template and can generate pdf, rtf, odt ... To generate pdf it requires a headless OOo on some server. Documentation is concise but relatively complete. http://appyframework.org/podWritingTemplates.html If you need advice, the author is rather helpful.
