Ive used htmldoc in the past to convert html generated by PHP into a PDF. I took a look and seems to support encryption/password protection (personally havent used that particular function)
may be able to create a quick wrapper script that converts the report to HTML runs htmldoc against that and deletes the HTML document leaving only the PDF. Not sure how it will handle the weird formatting you are seeing on some browsers but may be worth a try? http://linux.die.net/man/1/htmldoc (sounds like your using mac, seems there is a mac port of this as well) On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 9:33 AM, James Birk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The HTML export function produces an html document that is rife with > unquoted special characters and dangling elements.
