Decided to see the capabilities of PDF generating in python.

These fields can be changed of course.

Features:

• Background color customization
  


• Application name, vulnerability description, steps to reproduce, impact, exploitability, affected scope, severity, remediation, reward, and date input
  


• Styling customization for fonts, font sizes, font colors, and document layout
  


• Report is generated in a PDF file format that can be easily shared with clients or project managers.
  

I personally wouldn't use this for reports but rather personal documentation to save and go back to.

Code

from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.lib.units import inch
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet
from reportlab.lib.enums import TA_CENTER
from reportlab.lib.colors import HexColor


# create a new PDF with Reportlab
def create_pdf(filename, data):
    # set up the document
    pdf = canvas.Canvas(filename, pagesize=letter)
    
    # set background color
    pdf.setFillColorRGB(25/255, 25/255, 25/255)
    pdf.rect(0, 0, letter[0], letter[1], fill=True)

    # set the font and font size
    styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
    pdf.setFont(styles['Normal'].fontName, 10)

    # set font color
    font_color = HexColor('#2E8B57')
    pdf.setFillColor(font_color)
    

    width, height = letter

    # write the title
    pdf.drawCentredString(width/2.0, height-0.5*inch, "Bug Bounty Report")

    # write the application name
    pdf.drawCentredString(width/2.0, height-1.0*inch, data['app_name'])

    # write the report
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-1.5*inch, "## Vulnerability Description\n")
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-1.75*inch, data['vulnerability_description'])

    # write the steps to reproduce
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-2.25*inch, "## Steps to Reproduce\n")
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-2.5*inch, data['steps_to_reproduce'])

    # write the impact
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-3.0*inch, "## Impact\n")
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-3.25*inch, data['impact'])

    # write the exploitability
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-3.75*inch, "## Exploitability\n")
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-4.0*inch, data['exploitability'])

    # write the affected scope
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-4.5*inch, "## Affected Scope\n")
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-4.75*inch, data['affected_scope'])

    # write the severity
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-5.25*inch, "## Severity\n")
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-5.5*inch, data['severity'])

    # write the remediation
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-6.0*inch, "## Remediation\n")
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-6.25*inch, data['remediation'])

    # write the reward
    text = f"## Reward: {data['reward']}"
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-6.75*inch, text)

    # write the date
    text = f"## Date: {data['date']}"
    pdf.drawString(0.5*inch, height-7.0*inch, text)

    # save the PDF
    pdf.showPage()
    pdf.save()
    print(f"PDF generated successfully as {filename}")


# ask for the filename
filename = input("Enter filename (without extension): ") + ".pdf"

# ask for the data
data = {
    'app_name': input("Enter application name: "),
    'vulnerability_description': input("Enter vulnerability description: "),
    'steps_to_reproduce': input("Enter steps to reproduce: "),
    'impact': input("Enter impact: "),
    'exploitability': input("Enter exploitability: "),
    'affected_scope': input("Enter affected scope: "),
    'severity': input("Enter severity: "),
    'remediation': input("Enter remediation: "),
    'reward': input("Enter reward: "),
    'date': input("Enter date (MM/DD/YYYY): ")
}

# create the PDF
create_pdf(filename, data)

Have you tried using puppeteer for generating pdfs? In Python there is a wrapper called pyppeteer.

I haven't used the python version, but we use a similar thing with nodejs for generating most text layout pdfs.

Never experimented with pdf generation in python but this seems very useful.
How heavy is to run?

Not heavy at all, it’s instant

I attempted puppeteer but could not get it working, I’m a noob still.
puppateer is good for scraping.

BTW the script you made is really good for fast PDF generation,thank you for share!
