I know no product for that. But you can use the print capabilities of browsers for that. Most sites use this technique. They have a fancy HTML view for browsing, and a very light printable version and the user "File> Print" it. It works pretty well. IE has HTML extensions for page formatting (it is absolutely non-standard, but can be useful sometimes). The power of FO is to have a VERY different formatting between HTML view and PDF view. It is very good for manuals printing for example (you browse them via the web and there are links, you print it and have page references instead).
