Ah, good, that wasn't clear to me.

Ok, I agree, just wanted to make sure nothing was left out accidentally.

You could use Pavlos Christoforou's pdfDocument (on the zope site); it will 
give a pdf representation of HTML. Don't think it's on the zdp site yet,

What about ZCatalog? This will do much for your indexing, is flexibly 
queryable (is this English?), or representable, if you wish, _and_ it comes 
with zope out of the box.
