Not at all, since you are the experts in pdf files, go ehead and create
nice PDF's from any page you want.
(Let us know so we can put them somewhere oneline too)

Would it be possible to have a footer and header line? The header line
contains the date, place, etc of the conference and ends with a line.
The footer starts with a line and shows the page number
It it possible to make a linespace between answer of previous answer and
next question? (Perhaps a light gray background of the question)

I'm trying to contact Andy concerning the creation of the talks
broshures and timetable etc, unfortunately I haven't received a response
yet, so I don't know what ReportLab managed to do already. Are they too
busy right now? That's great for ReportLab, but we need the pdf creation
soon too. I would like to know if ReportLab is capable of handling it or
not. Do you've a direct line with Andy?
