django-pdf-render 0.1.3

Render any Django template to a PDF

PDF Render is a Django app that provides functions to render PDF files from Django templates.

To do so, it bundles all files required for template rendering and sends them to a separate server for processing. Using Chromium on a separate server ensures PDFs that are consistent with browser-rendered templates.

Quick start

1. Run a pdf-render-server:

   docker run -p 3000:3000 kuboschek/pdf-render-server

2. Add PDF_RENDER_SERVER to your settings:

   PDF_RENDER_SERVER = 'http://localhost:3000'

3. Use the functions from ‘pdfrender’ to render PDFs in your views:

   pdfrender.render_to_bytes(template_name, context)
   pdfrender.render_to_response(template_name, context, filename=None)
   pdfrender.render_to_file(template_name, fp, context)
