Python Forum

I am looking to create an application or script that will pull information such as a FEMA FIRM panel number or community ID from a database and use it to fill in a PDF containing that info. I would also like to create a popup with boxes for the user to fill in the calced values for instances such as first floor elevation and have it use those values in the PDF. I honestly am not sure where to start or if this is even possible. I have very little experience with Python but from some research it seems like I may be able to do this using it. If I am wrong please correct me and if possible point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

There are several ways to produce pdf documents from python. From my experience, a very simple way is to use python to write a latex file and process this with the pdflatex program.
