Okay, I get that bit now, and coded it up, but when I go to render it, I
use the pyramid.renderers.render object but obviously it ends up
downloading a corrupted file because it's not even in PDF format.
So does reportlab have something to take that html/css and paint it to a
Canvas or something?
The overall idea here is that I was hoping to be able to define how I want
the PDF output to look at by using CSS.
if pdf:
# I need to build the Response object myself
from pyramid.renderers import render
from pyramid.response import Response
result = render('frontend:templates/student_pyp_report.pt',
dict(
title=title,
report=report,
student=student,
pdf=True
),
request=request)
response = Response(
result,
content_disposition="attachment; filename={}.pdf".format("test"
),
content_type = "application/pdf",
charset="utf-8"
)
return response
else:
return dict(
title=title,
report= report,
student=student,
pdf=False
)
