Hello to all my djangomates. I am Anuttam Anand, Btech student from India. 
For this year's GSoc , I am thinking of making a proposal for a more 
efficient and feature containing pdf library. Upon researching , I found 
ReportLab to be the pdf making library in django but it lacks many features 
and has been reported to be buggy. 
Features which I am thinking of including:
1. A direct webpage conversion to pdf and containing atleast 80% of css.
2. An option to download or keep the pdf in the server itself , location 
parameter which is specified by the programmer.
3. An option to download the pdf to the user's device upon calling the 
function.
Motivation:
1. The main motivation behind this project is that many websites need pdfs 
like transaction receipts or some reports which are downloaded.
2. I personally faced this issue a while ago and has to manually download 
my webpages to contain the css as some other libraries do download the pdf 
but results in loss of css and thus the design and quality.

I hope to get an opinion and advice and if I have missed some package or if 
anyone thinks of some more features, I will be happy to listen.

Thanking You
Anuttam Anand
