How to create a layout for use with pisa (xhtml2pdf)?

Question

I'm creating PDFs using pisa. The layouts I'm trying to convert to PDF have some absolute positioning which seems to be ignored by pisa. I could work around this limitation by using tables for layout. Are there any alternatives to this?

Answer 1

One way to do absolute positioning is to use the xhtml2pdf specific @frame blocks. See the documentation for details.
