Hi David, David Chelimsky wrote: I've used http://www.reportlab.org with sucess. Do you know of a Zope Product that already wraps report lab, or do you recommend just accessing directly with a script? I've been using a product called RMLPageTemplate: - http://www.zope.org/Members/mkerrin/RMLPageTemplate ...which gives you a ZPT-ish way of generating PDFs. It was fiddly to set up first time around, but worth the effort. I'm using it on Zope versions from 2.7x to 2.9x. I use it extensively for reports on RDBMS data and printing certificates and insurance policies. -- Regards, PhilK 'if you really want to be a rebel, read one book a week' - cal godot ___ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests

I can't think of anything that would do this for you: transforming HTML to PDF doesn't usually work very well. Reportlab is fairly easy to use and extremely fast. Except that it's apparently not thread-safe and should therefore be handled with care.
