You mention PDF in the subject line, but not in the body of the message.
As far as I can tell, the options for generating PDF on the fly for the
web are:
* Panda / PandaScript
http://www.stillhq.com/cgi-bin/getpage?area=panda&page=index.htm
http://www.stillhq.com/cgi-bin/getpage?area=pandascript&page=index.htm
written by a really nice guy ;)
* ClibPDF
http://www.fastio.com
as little more fully featured than panda, but the code aint as
nice and there is a commercial use license
* PDFLib
http://www.pdflib.com
again a commercial use license, and slow...
Let me know if you decide to go this route and need help.
Cheers,
Mikal
