<br>
I am currently using reportlab to produce .pdf reports.<br>
<br>
I am then viewing the report using a pdf viewer such as 'Foxit Reader'
which I find excellent for this purpose because:<br>
<br>
1) The same viewer is available on both platforms<br>
2) The footprint is small<br>
3) You can send the report directly to a printer without having to view
it.<br>

<pre wrap="">So I am working on a simple risk management app [0] using pygtk and
the fantastic kiwi framework. I got to a point where I MUST show some
data in a report fashion, and I will surely need many more of those.
What path should I take? Understand that I need to make that app run
on linux and windows, so all stuff must be portable or pure python:
- Create PDFs using geraldo [1]
- Create the reports using HTML/CSS and pisa [2] to generate PDFs
Both options work ok to CREATE the PDFs, te problem is how to show it
inside a window/view using pyGTK. I tried to research poppler to show
PDFs but apparently it does not have ports to Win32. The same thing
with WebKit [3] (that I could use to show the HTML reports), no
apparent download avaiable for webkit-gtk on Win32.

I like the HTML approach. All good reporting frameworks that I have seen
support HTML output. On linux I would also suggest using webkit to show
this html
If you want to show html on windows, you could create python bindings to
GtkIEEmbed [1] (which is a Gtk widget for embedding internet explorer)

<pre wrap="">So, I am open to suggestions. How to show that stuff on pygty? I
tought about converting the PDF to something that I can put on a
PixBuff, but apparently PIL can't do that. I am lost :P
