Thank you for the information! I’m just wondering, why would we need to generate a pdf using python, while it could be written in document format and then exported as pdf? Please let me know, thanks in advance :)

[@AllTechPage]

Hello Mariam, well this is used a lot actually. For example, in home banking if you want to download some report about your account, probably you will have a button where you click on it and it will generate a PDF document on the fly without the need of human intervention. I used the example of home banking but you can see this behavior in several services on the web. And also, thank you for the visit :)

[@Nikos_rebetis]

That's cool and interesting. But what is the avantage to create a pdf this way instead of using for exemple LaTeX ?

[@AllTechPage]

Hello TheGipsyjack, Well this is done with Python...and Python can do a lot of things. For example you can use Python to scrapt a website (get some data from that website), then it can do some transformations to that data (for example compute the average of some value, do the sum of other, etc), combine it with some other data that it can read from a database and finally insert that new data into a pdf (can generate a reportlab chart or even use pandas and other libraries to generate a picture of a very sophisticated chart). The potential is limitless :)
