I'm trying to use the Django template system to render PDF's from .fdf's. The PDF's are provided by client and I can generate a dummy .fdf from them and edit that. I can use pdftk to merge the two, but it seems like the template system does something similar.
My first problem is that the .fdf has "%" characters in it and I cannot find how to escape them in Django. I guess I could define a variable named "percent" and use that to insert the % into the template. Here's a snippet of my test .fdf file. Is this idea feasible, or am I trying to push a chain? %FDF-1.2 1 0 obj <</FDF<</F(/C/all/projects/AccMDS30Server/mds30/templates/NC.pdf)/Fields[ <</T(form1[0].#pageSet[0].MasterPage1[0].Resident[0])/V(Minnie Mouse)>> <</T(form1[0].#pageSet[0].MasterPage1[0].NumericIdentifier[0])/V(1234567)>> <</T(form1[0].#pageSet[0].MasterPage1[0].Date[0])/V(today)>> <</T(form1[0].Page38-SectionZ[0].Z0500[0].Z0500Body[0].Z0500BYear[0])/V(1999)>> ]>>>> endobj trailer <</Root 1 0 R>> %%EOF -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
