Not easily. I have seen a script HTML->PDF but it wasn't particularly
clever. Your best bet is to use a pdf library and generate the file
yourself.

Alternatively, if this is in house then buy (only cheap) the Fineprint
pdf printer driver.

Try CutePDF. It is a free PDF print driver and will make PDFs out of
anything you print.
