I'm guessing you are asking for a way to create pages that look like
PDF's but are just HTML? The problem with this is that print
stylesheet support is so poor across browsers that you will never be
able to print a page of HTML/CSS that looks as good as a PDF. That's
why PDF's are still needed for important documents that have specific
print-dependent formatting.
