Introduction

Django-report is a application that lays the foundation for generating simple printable PDF reports.

This is by now means a complete report generating suite, it just provide the strict necessary to create views that can be outputed either as HTML or PDF with minimum discrepancies as possible.

How it works

It basically just output a HTML print friendly view which can be downloaded as PDF. Both the PDF file and the HTML view uses the same CSS file, which makes it easier to match the HTML output (preview) with the PDF (print document).

Matching the two outputs still isn't what we can call a walk to the park, but django-report makes it a lot easier.
