Project description
## What is this
This is a class based mixin to download a class based view as a PDF.
The PDF is generated with firefox and selenium **(tested on ubuntu 14.04 LTS)**.
This is not really performant but generates good PDF's with selectable text.
This is how this is done:
## Example usage:
```python
class InvoiceDetail(PdfDownloadMixin, TemplateView):
template_name = "invoice_print.html"
# PDF mixin attributes
pdf_filename = 'invoice.pdf'
```
## Options:
**pdf_filename**
The filename of the PDF file download.
Default: download.pdf
**pdf_folder = '/tmp/'**
**pdf_remove_file**
Default: **python True**
**pdf_authenticate**
Default: True
**pdf_load_time**
Default: True
**pdf_get_param**
Default: 'pdf'
## Installation
```
$ pip install django-pdf-download
```
System requirements tested on (ubuntu 14.04):
```
sudo apt-get install firefox xvfb cups-pdf
```
*cups-pdf* is only used once to setup headless printing (quirk in firefox you can not save as PDF unless you printed via another printer at least once).
