Packt published an article about xtopdf - creating PDF from PlainText, DBF, CSV, TDV, and XLS Data

Hi group,

This is an article I wrote for Packt Publishing -
http://www.packtpub.com :

Using xtopdf, a PDF creation toolkit -
http://www.packtpub.com/article/Using_xtopdf

It shows how to use xtopdf - http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtopdf -
to create PDF from plain text, DBF, CSV, TDV and XLS data.

Use of both command-line and the GUI tools in xtopdf is covered.

xtopdf is written in Python and requires the ReportLab toolkit.

The GUI tools are written in wxPython - http://www.wxpython.org.

Enjoy
