PDFino

PDFino (/pəˈdɪfino/) is a Python library for generating PDF files. It is built on top of ReportLab, a powerful PDF generation library for Python. PDFino is designed to be simple and easy to use. It provides a high-level API for generating PDF files without having to deal with the low-level details of ReportLab.

Getting started 🌯

from pdfino import Document


doc = Document()
doc.h1("Hello World", options={"color": "blue", "margin_bottom": 30})
doc.p("Generate PDFs effortlessly with PDFino.")
doc.hr(height=2, options={"color": "#ffa500", "margins": (30, 100, 0, 100)})
data = doc.bytes

PDFino keeps things streamlined, but it won't replace all of ReportLab's powers. You can always add ReportLab flowables directly to your document if you need to.

from pdfino import Document
from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph


doc = Document()
doc.add(Paragraph("Hello World", doc.stylesheet["h1"]))
doc.save_as("hello_world.pdf")
