PDF generator decision

[Carlos Nepomuceno]

Christian, have you tried pod[1]? You can use create templates in OpenDocument format and then create the PDFs just passing the arguments, like:

args = {'name':'John', 'email':'john at example.com'}
renderer = Renderer('template.odt', args, 'result.odt')renderer.run()

It is important for me that I am able to specify not only background graphics, paragaphs, tables and so on but also to specify page headers/footers. The reason is that I have a bunch of documents to be generated (including Invoice templates, Quotes - stuff like that).
