HTML+CSS -> XSL:FO

[Alex McLintock <al...@OWAL.co.uk>]

Sorry for asking a question which I know is already in my FAQ but I have a 
colleague who needs to render HTML *with* CSS to PDF. I am wondering 
whether we have anything like a web browser which outputs XSL:FO yet.

Does anyone use one?

My instant reaction is to say convert to XML instead of HTML, but the data 
is already in HTML and the CSS is important.

Maybe we should enhance the Mozilla rendering engine to output XSL:FO ?

I hope this is not the FAQ answer ;-)

Assuming client-side is ok (or you want to try to automate these functions), 
I see two possibilities:

a) print to PostScript or PDF from a browser 
b) import the pages to Acrobat (Windows version does it nicely, I think 
including CSS) and save as PDF
