Zopesters, Has anyone had any experience with Zope generating a PDF file? Hopefully, -- Jason Spisak webmaster@hiretechs.com
Jason - There are a few python librries out there for the dynamic creation of PDF. There is a pdflib which is implemented in C and has bindings for python (www.pdflib.com). Also I have written one which is implemented entirely in Python (and thus a bit slow) but has minimal htmltopdf converter (does not do tables). It is available at: starship.python.net/crew/pavlos ... or Ty Sarna might come up with the ultimate web publishing environment if he gets the time ... Pavlos On Thu, 7 Oct 1999, Jason Spisak wrote:

Can you use pdflib to parse a PDF? I have been thinking about a file-object for cataloging of PDF's lately. Or are there any other PDF-parsers outthere? //johan

You may be able to do something using ghostscript, as it is 1. able to display .pdf and 2. there is a program that extracts plain text from a .ps file using ghostscript --------- Hannu

You might want to look into PIDDLE. Someone earlier made reference to the fact that I have a similar library, but PIDDLE is clearly the de-facto standard. Someday I need to port some of my library's higher-level features to PIDDLE :-)
