A brute-force approach could be to sidestep PDF and design a
template(s) in LaTex containing fields identified by strings. LaTeX
can produce many formats, one of those is PDF.

Then have your output module read the template, do a search & replace
of the fields with values (remembering to quote the characters that
LaTex will choke on and removing the codes for the blank fields) and
write the finished LaTeX document to disk. (Maybe there are even
templating modules in Python that will take care of this).

Then compile the documents with latex, run the resulting *.dvi file
through dvipdf and return a link to it. This is a "compiler pattern".
You need a naming scheme to identify your file(s) but the rest is
pretty old.

The Python application "scons" (a make replacement) can control the
"build" process - in case that you are not on a unix box - one could
have "build" application periodically looking for *.tex files and
compile them into *pdf whenever one is deposited in the right place.
Scons support distributed builds b.t.w.

Hi again,

I must create a webpage with this service not a standalone software. Is
it correct, anyway? have you a little example to show me? Thanks for
your suggestions.
