So I'm trying to generate a PDF of a view that I have in a django web application. This view is protected, meaning the user has to be logged in and have specific permission to view the page. I also have some attachments (stored in the database as FileFields
) that I would like to append to the end of the PDF.
I've read most of the posts I could find on how to generate PDFs from a webpage using pdfkit
or reportlab
, but all of them fail for me for some reason or another.
Currently, the closest I've gotten is successfully generating a PDF of the page using pdfkit
, but this requires me to remove the restrictions that require the user to be logged in and have page permissions, which really isn't an option long term. I found a couple posts that discuss printing pdfs on protected pages and providing login information, but I couldn't get any of that to work.
I haven't found anything on how to include attachments, and don't really know where to start with that.
I'm more than happy to update this question with more information or snippets of code if need be, but there's quite a few moving parts here and I don't want to flood people with useless information. Let me know if there's any other information I should provide, and thanks in advance for any help.
