newforms to display itself as a reportlab/platypus object.

[Jeff Anderson]

Basically, each newform component could be able to display itself as a platypus object.
Each field could have a method that returns its name and/or value as a paragraph object.
An instance of a newform could also return a table or paragraph object with everything else embedded.

The idea is that it would streamline the creation of pdf reports, which is something bosses and clients like.

[Malcolm Tredinnick]

This is too specialised/heavyweight for Django's core, since it's just one of many, many output formats. You could write such a thing as an external application (for example, accepting Form objects as arguments, or subclassing Forms).
