ReportLab is an open source toolkit for generating PDF files. The kit (and more documentation) is available from http://www.reportlab.org/. The commercial products based on ReportLab are at http://www.reportlab.com/.
Installation
They don't tell you how to install it from sources. They assume you know something about Python! Tsk. That leaves me out. Welll... okay... maybe not; the generic python setup thing works:
% python setup.py build % su # python setup.py install
Accelerator
There is an extra package to download that is an accelerator written in 'c'. I have not tried it yet.
There is also mention of a separate package for generating raster bit maps; likewise I have not looked into it yet.
The whole reportlab thing at this point is just filling a checkbox for iMap requirements. I have installed it but will worry about the fine points later.
