I'm not sure whether this fits here, but I'd like to have a possibility
to produce a PDF version of each HTML page and to include a link to this
PDF version.

For example, the following page is a relatively official document:

  http://www.vor-cycling.be/de/regeln_kids.html

I converted this manually from the original Word document which is
updated every year. I'd like to convince the people of this cycling
association to abandon Word and rely only on the RST version for this
document. But they also (or mainly) need a printed document, and if they
just hit Ctrl-P in their browser, then the result is not satisfying. And
there is (as far as i know) no hope to get it satisfying because HTML
doesn't yet[1] include page layout instructions like margins, manual
page breaks, header and footer. If I tell those people that they must
fiddle with their browser's page layout options each time they want to
print a copy of this document, then they'll never abandon Word.

[1] In fact CSS 2.0 has page layout options for print media, but most
    browsers don't implement them:
    http://de.selfhtml.org/css/eigenschaften/printlayouts.htm

That's why I think that rst2pdf integration might bring a solution.

Before I start digging myself, I ask here whether somebody did already
work in this direction? Thanks for any feedback!
