I don't really know, re HTML vs PDF. I've generated HTML from MV before and it's a shoe-in for accomplishing a mail-merge type of result, ie a pre-defined form with <tokens> that get replaced on the fly.
We're trying to print about 40 government forms and when we downloaded their PDF from the internet and printed them, they didn't align to the 6 or 8 lines per inch. I don't want to go on a tangent about modifying the print jobs at this point. I can't imagine I'm the first to wish to PRINT HTML automatically. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Jenkins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 11, 2005 6:36 PM Subject: RE: [U2] HTML printing > Mark > > In that case you would need a print driver for your platform (or a network > printer) that understands and renders HTML on your printer.
