If you don't mind using commercial software, I'm using PD4ML to do
this and it works like a charm (I gave up using iText, primarily
because I didn't have the time to figure out some of it's quirks -
although I'm using it in some places).
I grabbed the following method from our frameworks as an example.
But of course I'd love an open source alternative :-).
Cheers,

Hi Pascal,
#1) An open source WO framework that renders PDF files from a HTML
response the same as if a user did a "Print to PDF" in their
browser ..... the framework can wrap iText or whatever .....
That one would be GREAT for me :-)
#2) The OpenOffice.org utility framework that is on your list
Thanks, Kieran
