[Solved] How to build a PDF with Python

[rudy-garceau]

I would like to use an .ott or .odt file to create a PDF with in Python. My intent is to create a simple GUI to run in a container with a single form input that will do some f string replacements (or something similar) to create a report with letterhead to send to clients about their on-site consultation. The only requirements is that there is an image to be placed at the top of each page and that the end result may be emailed to clients. It may stay in .odt if needed, but I have seen PyPDF2, and am looking for some support as I work through this solution. I will offer it in a public repo on GitHub.

My next step may be digging through SAM on AWS or some other hub that may have a spec file or dockerfile that can expedite the development process. If anyone has anything they are willing to share, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

Doesn't Mail Merge do about 90% of this? Why re-invent the wheel? However perhaps this exercise is intended as a fun project on which you can spend three or four days of your time.
