I have a small command line program in C# (mono) that opens HTML files
in OpenOffice and transforms the file to PDF and closes OpenOffice. I'm
using the UNO bridge. The only problem is that you need OpenOffice
installed and an X server running all the time. But it works great. Let
me know if you need my program to send it to you.
This is an example of the same concept using Python instead:

Also, mono has a small program that will capture any web page into a
PNG. It is an example of how to use the Gecko engine with C#
(gecko-sharp). It is not a PDF but maybe it could work for you. In mono
look for gecko-sharp

Thanks David
I'm most interested in using the Gecko engine so I think I will look
into that. Do you happen to know if there is a mailing list I should
sign up for to ask questions etc.about doing that?
Thanks again
Greg
