Default PDF generator class is PdfkitPdfGenerator which uses pdfkit Python package and wkhtmltopdf system package for generating PDFs from randomly generated text. The quality of the produced PDFs is very good, but it’s less performant than ReportlabPdfGenerator (factor 40x), which does not require additional system dependencies to run. To use it, pass ReportlabPdfGenerator class in pdf_generator_cls argument.
