fpdf2

fpdf2 is a PDF creation library for Python:

Go try it now online in a Jupyter notebook: or

Compared with other PDF libraries, fpdf2 is fast, versatile, easy to learn and to extend (example). It is also entirely written in Python and has very few dependencies: Pillow, defusedxml, & fontTools. It is a fork and the successor of PyFPDF (cf. history).

Development status: this project is mature and actively maintained.
