[Zope] html2pdf error

[Dennis Allison]

Hmmm.... I assume you've put the python script that calls htmldoc using 
popen2 into the Extensions directory of your Zope.  (The details 
of where the Extensions directory is to be found may vary.) 

Calling the script in the Extensions directory is accomplished by adding
an External Method Object to the folder in which is to be referenced (or
a folder which will be acquired). The External Method is invoked by
calling it from DTML, TAL, or a python script.

If that's what you're doing, I am at a bit of a loss why you would get 
that diagnostic.  What version of Zope are you using, what OS, which
Python?
