Here's a simple example, creating a PDF invoice in web2py app:
This is the controller code:
def show_pdf_invoice(invoice_number, invoice):
from fpdf import FPDF
pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font('Arial', 'B', 10)
pdf.cell(25, 5, 'My company name', )
pdf.set_font('Arial', '', 10)
pdf.cell(60, 5, 'My company address', ln=1)
pdf.cell(40, 5, 'My company additional data', ln=1)
pdf.line(10, 20, 180, 20)
pdf.set_xy(140, 25)
pdf.cell(25, 5, 'Date issued: {0}'.format(invoice[0].date))
pdf.set_xy(140, 30)
pdf.cell(25, 5, 'Invoice Number: {0}'.format(str(invoice_number)))
pdf.line(10, 40, 180, 40)
pdf.set_xy(10, 41)
pdf.cell(30, 5, 'Description')
pdf.cell(30, 5, 'Starts')
pdf.cell(30, 5, 'End')
pdf.cell(30, 5, 'Amount')
pdf.line(10, 46, 180, 46)
pdf.set_xy(10, 47)
pdf.cell(30, 5, invoice[0].invoice_item_name)
pdf.cell(30, 5, '')
pdf.cell(30, 5, '')
pdf.cell(30, 5, '{0} {1}'.format(invoice[0].total, invoice[0].currency)
pdf.line(10, 51, 180, 51)
pdf.set_xy(150, 52)
pdf.cell(30, 5, 'Total: {0} {1}'.format(invoice[0].total, invoice[0].
currency)
pdf.set_xy(10, 60)
pdf.cell(30, 5, 'Bill To:', 0, 1)
pdf.cell(30, 5, invoice[0].invoice_address_name, 0, 1)
pdf.cell(30, 5, invoice[0].invoice_address_street, 0, 1)
pdf.cell(30, 5, invoice[0].invoice_address_city)
pdf.cell(30, 5, invoice[0].invoice_address_zip, 0, 1)
pdf.cell(30, 5, invoice[0].invoice_address_country)
pdf.output('invoice.pdf', 'F')
response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/pdf'
return XML(pdf.output('', 'S'))
And that's it, your view named "show_pdf_invoice.html" should be empty.
