Generate PDF from Python

Add template-based document generation to Python applications.

docmosis java
  • Templates enable non-developers and end-users to create and change the content and layout of documents.
  • Changes to documents can take place outside of normal software development lifecycles.

Docmosis has been designed for high performance. Single page documents are typically generated sub-second. The ability to perform parallel and distributed processing makes it possible to generate hundred-of-thousands of documents per hour.

A simple REST-based API

How to create PDF from Python.

  • Create templates using Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer. No special plugins needed.
  • Add plain-text placeholders, just by typing, to control the position and behaviour of dynamic content.

The Python application sends JSON/XML data to the REST API to be merged with the template.

  • Docmosis will: insert text/images into the body, headers and footers; conditionally add/remove any content; perform calculations; loop over repeating data to fill tables or lists; format data/numbers and much more..
  • The generated document is returned to the calling application.
