Tom,

I can't give a working example, it's on a server at work,
but integrating zope and reportlab is easy.
I tried it because I needed a proof of concept and did
did nothing advanced, but I got zope to return a pdf which
was always created on the fly. 
If your interested I'll post/send that small example.


Take a look at

or search the reportlab mailing list for zope
