I downloaded the only two file available on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pisa/.
But it isn't in there. The documentation said that there is a
precompiled windows version available. Any idea where I can find it?

xhtml2pdf is written in Python which means there isn't a .exe file.
You will need to install the Windows version of Python to run it.
After that you can run pisa from the command line or from another
Python script. If you have not used the command line before pisa
(xhtml2pdf) probably isn't the right tool for you.

This is an excerpt from the PISA documentation found on
http://www.xhtml2pdf.com/doc/pisa-en.html

"2.1 Windows precompiled version

For Windows a precompiled version exists that includes Python and all
needed libraries. The package contains the file xhtml2pdf.exe. Please
add the directory where xhtml2pdf.exe is placed to the Windows PATH
variable.

The Windows version is distributed via the Website <http://
www.xhtml2pdf.com> in the "Download" section."

The download sections provides only Source files. So is there some
other package available?

The windows EXE version is not maintained any more. Anyways I created
one for download here, but don't expect too much ;)

Hey Dirk,

Thanks a ton. My only other alternative would've been to shell out 3800USD for PrinceXML.

Thanks, again, for the wonderful tool.
