OOWrite is to LaTeX as OODraw is to?
- by grimborg
I'm looking for a tool to nicely generate single-page PDFs. My needs are:
Able to put a PDF/EPS/... as a background
Absolute positioning
Able to define tables, lists
Able to rotate blocks
Reasonably easy syntax (will be used to automatically generate many similar looking documents)
Easily usable from Python
Free or very cheap
In essence I'm looking for the tool X that is to OODraw/CorelDraw/... as LaTeX is to OOWrite/MS Word.
I've looked at webkit2pdf and a headless OODraw, but both seem a bit of an overkill. XML-FO has some limitations such as not being able to predict how many pages your document spans. Reportlab is pricey.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
