Shame on me. The problem was that i mixed SimpleDocTemplate (which the
examples were based on), with BaseDocTemplate, which i used. And
BaseDocTemplate needs an extra PageTemplate defined. So this code
basically works:
def generate_pdf(request):
response = HttpResponse(mimetype='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=somefilename.pdf'
template = PageTemplate('normal', [Frame(2.5*cm, 2.5*cm, 15*cm,
25*cm, id='F1')])
doc = BaseDocTemplate(filename=response,pagesize=A4,pageTemplates=template)
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
Document = [Paragraph('rd', styles["Title"])]
Document.append(Spacer(1,50))
doc.build(Document)
return response
Thanks all for the help!
