I'm sort of surprised no-one has suggested the obvious.

HTML_toPDFis a PHP class that makes it easy to convert HTML documents  
to PDF files on the fly. HTML_ToPDF grew out of the need to convert  
HTML files (which are easy to create) to PDF files (which are not so  
easy to create) fast and easily. Featues include:
The ability to encrypt and set permissions on the PDF file on the fly.
The ability to set the header and footer text, including the color.
The ability to set the page size and margins.
The ability to convert images in the webpage to images embedded in  
the PDF. The script tries to convert relative image paths in to  
absolute ones as well.
The ability to use the CSS in the HTML file in the creation of the  
PDF. This includes remote CSS files as well.
The ability to convert remote files.
The ability to convert links into embedded clickable links in the PDF  
file
The ability to scale the HTML page.
Easy setting of any of these options through the methods of the class.
Tries to fix quirks in html pages which break html2ps.
PEAR error handling.
Works on both Unix/Linux and Windows.
