    creating pdf from website

    Hi,

    Woudl it be possible to create a PDF from an internet explorer view, using
    php?

    I would like to create a hardcopy (pdf) from a report, currently generated
    and echoed by php and have adobe acrobat reader fired up on the push of a
    button....

    hints?

    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.

      Michel,

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

      CutePDF allows you to create PDF files from any printable document, save PDF forms using Acrobat Reader, make PDF booklet, impose, rearrange pages and much more.
