I had to abandon HTMLDoc because of this.
Actually, all document formats used in the application I mentioned are fixed-width and are not problematic. It's good you pointed this out, though, because it took some experimenting to get the formatting right because of the page cut-offs in some cases. Different documents in this case require different margins and formatting. One thing I absolutely hate about htmldoc is it's lack of support for CSS. It's quite a mature product in that it's been around for quite some time and it's generally fast (as long as you don't generate a thousand-page pdf file!), so it's still useful in certain situations for us. Now, I definitely wouldn't use it in an environment where it was under any sort of significant load, but that's just based on my experience with it. In that case I'd probably go with ActivePDF products (server and webgrabber) for HTML to PDF conversion.
