Scribus and Inkscape uses XML file formats. Maybe you can use some XML parser to extract graphics element coordinates (you can look at pysimplesoap.simplexml also included with web2py now): http://code.google.com/p/pysimplesoap/wiki/SimpleXmlElement I'm working on this, a basic svg2fpdf converter, to desing templates using inkscape. Generating a new PDF is possible, merging it may be difficult (if any open source tool even supports that) Additionally, there are some tools to import SVG (inkscape/sodipodi) directly to PDF. > like having a template (pdf file) and adding name, surname etc. Yes, web2py supports PDF templates like the ones you are commenting, using pyfpdf, and you don't need a file with the xml format, you can store it at the database, see: http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/wiki/Web2Py > is it possible on GAE to directly store new file in database? > I don't fully understand what you mean, but web2py and pyfpdf should work on GAE.
