I'm sure Prince does a fine job, but it doesn't look like it does  
anything that you can't already achieve with freely-available  
software (albeit with more effort/hassle, probably). For example,  
CSSToXSLFO [1] will turn XHTML+CSS into XSL-FO, and then any number  
of tools (e.g. the free Apache FOP [2]) will turn XSL-FO into PDF --  
in fact CSSToXSLFO integrates directly with most of the popular XSL- 
FO formatters so everything happens in one step.

Of course, you get the best results by turning the XHTML into XSL-FO  
yourself (i.e. by writing an XSLT stylesheet to do it) and generating  
the PDF from that, but writing the stylesheet can be pretty laborious.

Cheers,
