Subject: Re: Creating a PDF from Lite
Date: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 15:23:48 PDT

You could:

(a) generate the HTML in lite/w3-msql and use one of the existing pdf
libs to convert it to PDF

or

(b) use PHP with the pdf libs included, and generate the PDF directly
there (www.php.net)

Good luck.

We have been looking into writing a "mod_pdf" for Lite exactly for this
purpose. We haven't started on it yet but I'll put it on the list as a
definite.
