Why not use ReportLab for generating Invoice PDF

[basst85]

Why use a external webservice? What if api.sycade.com has a autage or responds slowly? (What is unlikely, but possible 😄)

You can locally use ReportLab, check this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/howto/outputting-pdf/

Ive seen this on the django docs indeed, after scrolling through the ReportLab docs it seemed time consuming to design an invoice PDF. Seeing that I'm a horrible designer would just add more time to the processes. So I continued searching and found this service https://prexview.com. I started working with PrexView but the limitations weren't ideal so I continued on searching and found Michiel's solution.

I think ill keep using sycade for now and later on integrate ReportLab when most of the other bugs and improvements are resolved. 🙈
