Creating a PDF from the HTML page

Hey guys

I'd basically like the ability, for when a user clicks a button, for the page to be saved as a PDF file. Almost as if they had printed-to-pdf. Is this possible?? If so, how can it be done?

Many thanks!

Uhh.. well, it can be done, I have a Firefox extension from NitroPDF that will do it, but as far as having that functionality yourself, I don't know of any solutions for that.

If you're doing this from a website, it needs to be done from the server, meaning you need a server programming language to do it.

Here's some examples with PHP:

We used a product called ExpertPDF to do this. As the previous poster said, it required some server side scripting (used asp.net). We actually built an entire web to print application with it. User selects different html elements and it builds up the final string on the server and exports as a pdf. License is very cheap for the functionality you get.

how many pages are you talking about. If it's a static number of pages then you'd be set, but if you are going to putting something like that on a forum like this then it would take a bit of work. If it's statick then print to pdf your pages then make them available for download...
