We have found a simple solution... this code do the trick:
{{
import xhtml2pdf.pisa as pisa
filename = '%s/%s.html' % (request.controller,request.function)
html = response.render(filename)
pdf = pisa.CreatePDF(html, dest = response.body)
}}
We hope to be of any help to other people with the same problem
Cheers

Hi!
we are trying to build up printable report from a view. We'd like to
use xhtml2pdf instead using the web2py embedded library fpdf.
How the view template file should look like?
Essentially we tried something like the following without success:
{{
from xhtml2pdf import pisa
from StringIO import StringIO
filename = '%s/%s.html' % (request.controller,request.function)
html=response.render(filename)
dest = StringIO()
# convert HTML to PDF
pisaStatus = pisa.CreatePDF(html, dest=dest)
="ERROR" if not pisaStatus else dest.getvalue()
}}
