newforms to display itself as a reportlab/platypus object.

Description

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.

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).
