Any ideas how such a service might work?
I have only used the extension the makes use of HTMLdoc. It simply pipes
the genereated HTML through the HTML-to-PDF-converter. Using more steps
you could also do HTML->Tex-PDF or HTML->PS->PDF conversions. So this
would be an easy filter class.
I just browsed the R&OS pdf class faq, and I wondered if it makes sense
to abstract such a complicated api as pdf generation.
