[Xprint] HTML to PostScript to PDF

[Matthew Hooper]

Probably the easiest way would be to use PHP with the PDF functions 
enabled, and just pass the URL as a parameter to the script in the URL, 
so that the script opens the URL and reads it like a file including all 
your CSS, and then creates a PDF document based on the URL.

Hope this helps,

    Matt.
