[reportlab-users] Generating PNGs/JPGs instead of PDFs?

[Aaron Barlow]

I use imagemagick to convert a PDF cover page generated via reportlab  
to a PNG thumbnail as a preview. Seems to work fairly painlessly.

However, I thought you could pass in an output type to the canvas.save  
method or even the build method of the Document Template to set the  
output to png or JPEG. You have to have PIL installed for this to  
work. I don't have the manual with me but I'm pretty sure there's a  
section in there about that. Hope this helps.
