PDF paths are hard, so we tried some practical solutions. See this
appreport. https://github.com/lucasdavila/web2py-appreport After long
searching found something that can permanently solve these problems that
fpdf, pisa, geraldo bring us in doing pdf.
I think you, as I found the solution.

> Hi All,
> I am having a few problems with my code to generate proper PDF
> reports. Basically I have the same problems with reportlab so i am giving
> pyfpdf a try -
> *Problems:*
>
> 1. Long text (example *description *in below code) does not fit in the
> boundaries. It does not wrap to next line it just exceeds the page width -
> please see sample report attached.
> 2. I cant make zebra strips (alternate line/row color) to work
> properly here
> 3. The HTML output does not work (I have the view rep_open_issues.html
> - no data) [Live Demo for HTML pyfpdf does not work Ex - this url -
> http://www.web2py.com.ar/fpdf/default/listing ] Throws error - *invalid
> view (default/listing.html)*
>
> Here is my code -
>
> def rep_open_issues():
> response.title = "Open Issues"
> head = THEAD(TR(TH("Ticket",_width="15%"),
> TH("Sub Cateogry",_width="20%"),
> TH("Severity",_width="15%"),
> TH("Description",_width="50%"),
> _bgcolor="#A0A0A0"))
>
> foot = TFOOT(TR(TH("Fair Price - Good Day",_width="100%"),
> _bgcolor="#E0E0E0"))
>
> querysql = (""" Select ticket_no, sub_category, severity, description

> created_by='""" + logged_in_user )

> try:
> allissues = db.executesql(querysql)
> except: pass
> rows = []

> for issue in allissues:
> mycounter = []
> mycounter.append(issue)
>
> i = len(mycounter)
> col = i % 2 and "#F0F0F0" or "#FFFFFF"
> rows.append(issue)
