Tone, Take a look at www.easysw.com/htmldoc. Takes HTML and turns it into PDF. Simple no f'in about. Also you might want to take a look at html2ps and ps2pdf which uses GhostScript to make PDF. I've got a 'working' version of my XML to PDF which goes through XSL/htmldoc to do the conversion.

Currently, I carefully construct a page to print using DTML and HTML with heavy reliance on tables using absolute widths and such to place elements on page. (Thought about using CSS but haven't had time to get up to speed on it.)
Am in the process of coverting to generating PDFs using open source python tool from www.reportlab.com
Jim, This would be a very useful tool. The tools from www.reportlab.com are *very* neat (worked fine out of the box on Solaris and my Mac).
