texte = Hi On OSX I use a thing called HTMLDoc version 1.8.23 which is free to use I think. Basically you can point it to a url, which can be your populated content, and it makes a pdf on the fly. You then you send it off to the user. Works well for me and includes all tables, graphics etc. It's not to hot on CSS so as long as your html is basic it will work ok. Can give you a URL if you need to see example.
