Rendering PDF is quite hard, much harder than writing it. There are relatively few PDF rendering solutions for any platform, and it's non-trivial to merge one with a specific UI solution. So I'm not aware of any cross-platform solution. Most PDF usage either embeds the Adobe ActiveX control (on windows) or just shunts it off the user to find a working PDF viewer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
