[reportlab-users] Re: pdf's corrupted when emailed, possible solution included

[Matej Pivoluska]

I encountered similar problem (one year ago) with pdf file corruption. When=
 I=20
used Reportlab with WxPython, the end of file was incomplete (seems like so=
me=20
buffer wasn't writen complete to file.) The file was smaller abot 4-8=20
bytes(?) than generated the same way, when WxPython wasn't used.
