Description

Often we need to generate PDF documents e.g reports, invoices. These are often large documents that have an effect post the generation e.g emailing a link or attaching it to a message.

The genera process is these jobs to be queued and then for a processor to collate the contents, convert it into a template which is then turned into a PDF. We have typically used [Wesayprint](https://weasyprint.org) which is a Python based tool to generate PDFs from HTML and CSS. It has deep roots where the maintainers are members of the CSS working group.

We should prototype:
- A template being processed using Jinja2
- CSS defined for print may be using a framework like [Gutenberg](https://github.com/BafS/Gutenberg)
- Sample to include, images, code
- Generate the PDF
- Store the document in an object store
- Write the link back into a database for the rest of the application to find the document

> Anomaly should also consider financially supporting Weasyprint
