I want to create a PDF file that will display the output of my request in a table format, for example:

query = ModelA.objects.filter(p_id=100)

class ModelA(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    p_id = models.IntegerField()
    description = models.TextField()

I need to show the values ​​for name, descriptionand pidin the generated PDF.

Answer 1

As mentioned by other people, the best way to do this is to create a template and then convert the result using one of the many libraries to PDF. This method gives you the usual level of control over your templates, for example using tags.

def pdf(request):
    context.update({'objects': ModelA.objects.filter(p_id=100)})

    kwargs = {}
    if request.GET and request.GET.get('as', '') == 'html':
        render_to = render_to_response
    else:
        render_to = render_to_pdf
        kwargs.update(dict(
            filename='model-a.pdf',
            margin_top=0,
            margin_right=0,
            margin_bottom=0,
            margin_left=0))

    return render_to('pdf.html', context, **kwargs)
