Nevermind, the main problem I seemed to be having was "associating" the pdf with the HttpResponse. Instead of writing the PDF to a file, I found through some more research that all you need to is use a StringIO buffer and then write the value of the buffer to the HttpResponse. I found this information in some other posts and other random places out there. Based on those, here is a brief example of what is currently working for me.
example: # all necessary imports buffer = StringIO() doc = SimpleDocTemplate(buffer, pagesize) ... # compile all information for pdf. doc.build(information) response.write(buffer.getvalue()) buffer.close() return response On Aug 23, 1:12 pm, abrightwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So, I have been playing around with reportlab and django in order to > generate pdf's of information from my application.
