Hello imaro,

If you are looking for a process to create a "snapshot" of the current page, I have never seen it done. However, if you are looking to take the text and dynamic content that created a page and put it into a new PDF file for export, then you only need to look as far as using the PDFlib library for PHP (a commercial product). It has a series of functions that creates PDFs and will allow you to export them to the user relatively easy.

If you are looking for something that is free and such you can check out the following addresses...

I hope this puts you on the right path to finding a good solution for your situation. smile.gif

Martyr beat me to it. I've used fpdf a lot in the past, and I've found it to be pretty simple to use. There are tutorials on their site as well to help you get through the software.
