As someone suggested use Cutepdf ... it works great ... I have to do that all the time. I built a system that uses cutepdf and ghostscript to output a webpage in PDF format .. I do online reports for my clients, they click report .. it auto generates a pdf from the data sent to the webpage (from the database processing) ... they now can print the report or save it or email it... all built using cutepdf and ghostscript and java
