This tool provide interface to fill Django style template in odt file. Your task is to provide a python script which takes 2 arguments: odt file path, and the path to save the file pdf.

The recommended way is to use the services LibreOffice / OpenOffice.org, which provides conversion from odt file to pdf from the console or Python script.

We recommend to use the library PyODConverter: https://github.com/dieselpoweredkitten/pyodconverter

We need also to define the value in the configuration file, and add the application to INSTALLED_APPS:

INKPY = {
    'script_path': '/path/to/your/convert/script.py',
    'tmp_dir': '/tmp/inkpy'
}
INSTALLED_APPS = INSTALLED_APPS + ['inkpy',]

To install LibreOffice in Ubuntu use:

$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-common openjdk-7-jre unoconv

To run LibreOffice service use:

$ soffice --nologo --headless --nofirststartwizard --accept='socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=2002,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;StarOffice.Service'
