I am quite comfortable in generating PDFs from HTML using pisa. Is there any similar option to generate image instead of PDF? The purpose is to generate dynamic Identity cards.

    The HTML -> PDF transformation is non-trivial -- there's a lot of layout stuff etc. going on. Why not just convert your PDFs to images? – Katriel Mar 20 '12 at 13:35

    The answer to [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9390493/how-to-take-a-snapshot-of-a-section-of-a-web-page-from-the-shell) should be useful. – Burhan Khalid Mar 20 '12 at 13:36

pisa does a lot of layout, formatting and what have you. Why not just convert the PDFs you already have to images?

You can use something like ImageMagick's Python bindings.
