I have been using http://paggard.com/projects/doc.generator/ and its predecessor for several years. This is a commercial PHP class and can easily be slotted into Cake. The chap gives excellent support but the script does cost (about $99 at the moment). I have programs that routinely generate 100+ page docs from databases using it.

In all cases you can use Cakes existing routing/web services features to have different views rendered from the same controller action depending on the extension. Ian On Feb 5, 6:50 pm, "dr.
