iText for Python

[santhoshvkumar]

Hi all,
One of my cousin suggested me to do a IText PDF converter
for python. Actually I heard that there is no separate IText converter
either we have to go for jython or GCJ with wrapper. Instead of
wrapping, my plan is to create a separate module with Python and I am
thinking of doing this in as my final year project also. Kindly give
me your suggestion.

With anticipation,

SanthoshVKumar.

What would this give us that ReportLab does not? I wouldn't want to
see you spend a lot of time reinventing the wheel...

It's a great idea !!.
It's seems that reportlab at this moment can't modify / fill forms from a PDF.
Note that probably the best way to print a PDF is create it using an advanced graphical tool to ensure great appearance and then modify and print using your own application.
