A Django app to generate pdfs from templates

Project description

Attention

This project is wrapper code between the django project and the xhtml2pdf project, both have a few maintaining so maybe are not ideal for your project.

Please get in touch if you would like to take over maintainership.

What it does is simply allow people to create xhtml2pdf templates using all the cool django things like STATIC_URL etc.. (like one would for a webpage template), and the utils function makes all the images and ressources appear in the pdf.

Usage

Simply do the following:

from django_xhtml2pdf.utils import generate_pdf

def myview(response):
    resp = HttpResponse(content_type='application/pdf')
    result = generate_pdf('my_template.html', file_object=resp)
    return result

Class-based views

You can use the provided PdfMixin with any view that subclasses TemplateView, example:

from django.views.generic.detail import DetailView
from django_xhtml2pdf.views import PdfMixin
from .models import Product

class ProductPdfView(PdfMixin, DetailView):
    model = Product
    template_name = "product_pdf.html"

It will output the rendered content of the view in pdf.

Decorator

Simply do the following:

from django_xhtml2pdf.utils import pdf_decorator

@pdf_decorator
def myview(request):
    return render(request, 'mytemplate.html')

Change de pdf file name:

from django_xhtml2pdf.utils import pdf_decorator

@pdf_decorator(pdfname='new_filename.pdf')
def myview(request):
    return render(request, 'mytemplate.html')
