Generate pdf in django

I'm making a web store and need to generate a pdf with orders. I've looked for, but it did not clarify what would be the best option to generate that.

Any advice of what library to generate pdf from html?

I noticed two options, they might be helpful:

The first one is official Django docs itself, here is the link https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/outputting-pdf/

Second one is from google code ( Django-report) please have a look, here is the link. http://code.google.com/p/django-report/

I have experience with pisa http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pisa it works well for creating pdf from html. If you're using paver just add to your requirements.txt: pisa reportlab html5lib

xhtml2pdf works pretty well. However, it does not support 100% CSS.

You can find a working combo of HTML and CSS after little work, note that you should use tables for layout.
