tool for converting html to pdf

j-ray · 08-30-2004, 04:38 AM

Hi,
i need to convert html files to pdf within php scripts. for this i need a tool to be called from the command line like htmldoc. unfortunately i'm not very lucky with htmldoc. if i excute

htmldoc --webpage -t pdf12 -d /srv/www/htdocs/web/test/ -f chartest.pdf /srv/www/htdocs/web/test/chartest2.html

it does neither create nor display a pdf. its the same if beeing called within a php-script. Anyone a good idea what i may be missing? or an alternative to htmldoc?

any help highly appreciated! thanks, j.

thanks, i had thought of that,too but html2ps has some disadvantages as not accepting size parameters so i cant use it. at least it would be pretty tricky...
