Yes. In at least three ways. web2py ships with pyfpdf (in gluon.contrib) which converts html to pdf. Once you make the file you can also add as an attachment to an email (look the web2py email API). You can install/unzip reportlab in web2py/site-packages and use that alternatively. Also, if you run on a linux/mac machine you can install LaTeX and call that for the conversion, but use it only if you know latex already.
