Yes, at least this part of the saga is about printing ;-) Putting it in a PDF would make it possible to do a multi-page print. That's goodness. On the other hand, it could add additional steps and some additional wait time for the visitor, and to satisfy the requirement to print the laid-out content with or without the background form it seems like I'd have to add a step where the visitor explicitly states how they want to lay it out, or just generate and send 2 PDF's, or generate and send one PDF with double the number of pages. I'd really like to be able to just select 'Print' from the browser's File menu. Is there not a way to use CSS to position two large background images such that they'll print on seperate pages?
