I see the above page has a link to a commercial product from http://www.renderx.com/ Prince is a another commercial product. It promises xml (or whatever?) + css -> pdf converter, has highest css capabilities/credentials, and was used to publish a book as a proof of concept. There is a free-for demo/personal use version that would at least give an idea of how well these things suit your purpose. http://www.princexml.com/ also of interest might be http://yeslogic.com/mikeday/xtech-2005/slides/ Maybe it would be cheaper to buy than make (if the tools work). ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
