How to generate a pdf using Django - pdf-generation

I am using Django 1.9. I am making an app which outputs an inventory as PDF.
Also using this library I can preview the pdf before finally outputting it. Which library can I use for this? Any suggestions..

ReportLab is a library that outputs PDF files dynamically using Django views. You can go through https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/outputting-pdf/ to learn more about it.

pdf importer with maroto

I am trying to develop a pdf generator. The pdf generator has multiple page. First page has some specific value with is working fine. But the second page has invoice which user uploads, In this case the user can upload a image file or pdf file.
For this I am using maroto library which works great when it comes to image or content generation but there is no support for import another pdf and merge with current one.
Now i know maroto uses gofpdf library and gofpdf has pdi importer so in my mind it should be possible to implement such feature. I didn't get any reply from their git issue board so asking it here.
Can anyone help me with this?? or my only choice is to change the library and do the coding again?
I could not find a solution for this. So i had to improvise the system
the way I solved the problem is:
generate a pdf using marotopdf library
load the second pdf
use unidoc library and merge 2 pdfs (its just merging 2 pdfs 1 after another)
This is not solving my problem 100% as i would like to have the ability to add company logo on the second pdf which is not editable atm. But its dining the main work (merge 2 pdf).
I've created a simple library to help you with this. It adds two methods to the gofpdf Fpdf class:
importPdf imports a PDF into the current PDF document
linkPdf creates a hyperlink to a PDF document
It uses cgo to use the pdsys, pdflib and pdflib_pllibraries.

How to customize html in Aimeos?

First time using aimeos and I'm having difficulty locating the file with the html code.How do I access the files? e.g, using this demo link https://laravel.demo.aimeos.org/default/en/EUR where do I find the html code responsiveble for displaying the navbar?
You can do this through the settings provided by laravel aimeos: https://aimeos.org/docs/latest/laravel/customize/
You can also create a theme extension (this is the recommended option) and make changes according to your needs.
You can find the documentation at this link: https://aimeos.org/docs/latest/laravel/themes/
Also, you can use the following tool to generate a theme extension: https://aimeos.org/extensions
This way you will be able to customize all the html, css, javascript, php without losing changes when you upgrade the laravel aimeos package.

Generating pdf of web page in laravel

I want to generate a pdf of a form that a user fills and download it to the users computer.
I tried using the Dompdf package from laravel to do this and everything works fine except the design. The generated pdf does not look exactly like the web page, after doing some searching about this issue, I found out that dompdf does not support a few of the css option.
I was wondering whether there are any other free packages like dompdf that I could use which can have rich styling and convert the web page to pdf with the exact design.
