Simple PDF generation for Python
Project description
PyFPDF is a library for PDF document generation under Python, ported from PHP (see FPDF “Free”-PDF, a well-known PDFlib-extension replacement with many examples, scripts and derivatives).
Compared with other PDF libraries, PyFPDF is simple, small and versatile, with advanced capabilities and easy to learn, extend and maintain.
Features:
Python 2.5 to 2.7 support (with experimental Python3 support)
Unicode (UTF-8) TrueType font subset embedding
Barcode I2of5 and code39, QR code coming soon …
PNG, GIF and JPG support (including transparency and alpha channel)
Templates with a visual designer & basic html2pdf
Exceptions support, other minor fixes, improvements and PEP8 code cleanups
Installation Instructions:
To get the latest development version you can download the source code running:
hg clone https://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/ cd pyfpdf python setup.py install
You can also install PyFPDF from PyPI, with easyinstall or from Windows installers. For example, using pip:
pip install fpdf
Note: Python Imaging Library (PIL) is needed for GIF support. PNG and JPG support is built-in and don’t require any external dependency.
