fpdf2 2.2.0rc3

Simple PDF generation for Python

fpdf2

fpdf2 is a minimalist PDF creation library for Python:

from fpdf import FPDF

document = FPDF()
document.add_page()
document.set_font('Arial', size=12)
document.cell(w=0, txt="hello world")
document.output("hello_world.pdf")

Compared with other PDF libraries, fpdf2 is simple, small and versatile, with advanced capabilities, and is easy to learn, extend and maintain.
