I don't think there is a screen involved here. Depends what the positioning is for. Since paper stays the same size, we get addresses into envelope windows and that sort of thing using the simple html2ps. HTML is not a great choice for paged documented either. I've a done a fair bit on html to pdf conversion recently, and only the big rendering engines do decent job with stylesheets, and even then some (mainly Webkit) have very low quality printed output. But I think there are too many choices, and I would nail it down with what is the starting format, what sort of tools are in use. e.g. If the "invoice" is currently just some records in a database, and the interface is web with PHP, then maybe fpdf is the answer. If the invoice is already in some sort of document format I'd start with trying to print that. If you just want to knock some C together and earn GNU points then GNU PDF maybe. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
