Putting the following code in generic.pdf and getting report.pdf does not work?
(also, per default there is a generic.pdf made by massimo that uses
markmin and latex if I remember it correctly)
from gluon.contrib.pyfpdf import FPDF, HTMLMixin
from gluon.sanitizer import sanitize
class MyFPDF(FPDF, HTMLMixin):
pass
pdf=MyFPDF()
pdf.add_page()
html=response.render('%s/%s.html' %
(request.controller,request.function))
html = sanitize(html, escape=False)
pdf.write_html(html)
response.headers['Content-Type']='application/pdf'
response.write(pdf.output(dest='S'), escape=False)
