I have had a look at this thread:
How to dynamically generate a pdf from Google's appengine?
I know we can use ReportLab, however, I am not sure how i can give it a HTML file and get a PDF.
Basically, HTML in and PDF out

if you can use an external lib, there is xhtml2pdf

Can't do that. As i want everything to run on app engine only. – demos Jul 28 '10 at 09:30

btw, will this pickup embedded images in the html file by itself? – demos Jul 28 '10 at 09:33

Try this: html-2-pdf.com
It's build in top of: wkhtmltopdf
It's really easy to use it. It's stand-alone so just upload a file on your (Linux) system and you are ready to produce PDFs

Awesome! I don't think i can use this in appengine directly though but i am very happy with the rendering engine! the PDF was exactly the same as the web page! nicely done. – demos Jul 28 '10 at 10:15

xhtml2pdf states that the source is pure python. you should be able to use this as a module in your application.
