How do I generate reports in pdf format? - okbeat9 - Jan-12-2020
I have a template that is of A4 landscape size and the data to be filled in it is in a csv file. Basically each row for 1 report. I have generated the report in MS Access. But I want without the gui.
Basically data is just stored in the csv file.
I want to create "report.py", which when clicked, will check which is the last invoice number in the excel sheet and collect all the rows with the same invoice number and generate a report with that. Also have the option that when I run via cli, "python3 report.py 5 15". It will print all the invoices from 5 to 15.
My question is what libraries/tools do I use?

Thanks.
The whole
canvas.drawString() & canvas.line() and complexities for drawing a table. Isn't there a simpler option like HTML? Considering all the post is from 2010, has there been changes?
