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.
