Generating a report and printing it (to pdf) from outside gnucash

[Tom Van Braeckel]

Good afternoon,

I'd like to automate my invoicing a bit by making a script (shell, perl,
python, php, whatever) that automatically generates an invoice, prints it to
PDF and e-mails it to the client in question.

So now I'm looking for a way to get GnuCash to generate and print an invoice
from a script or from the command line.
I searched the docs and the mailing lists but came up empty, although I did
find interesting stuff on python bindings that might come in handy.

Could you give me some pointers on how to go about generating and printing
GnuCash reports from an external script or program ?

Thanks in advance !

Tom.
