I'm wondering what open source converters are out there already.


I'm generating legal documents that require names addresses etc.
I want the ability for the end user to modify the base document whenever they require.

I plan to use the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor to let the users edit each page. I will populate names and addresses dynamically based on tags in the text.

Is there something good out there that will convert the html to pdf reliably?

HTMLDOC comes to mind, see http://www.htmldoc.org/ - haven't used it myself, so I can't say how reliable it is...

You might consider FPDF which is a library that enables you to create PDF from PHP. But then you would have to change you're design and perhaps use a form/wizard approach...

The program that I use to edit HTML and PHP and the likes is, Matrix Y2K Website Studios. It's a free trial that doesn't really end...I am over the days like...forever and can still use every feature on it. Very useful in checking things and it keeps things organized while you are typing it all up. I recommend it for most projects.
