[Flow] Create PDF from template

[Christian Loock]

Hello,

well yeah, that can be troublesome. I'm pretty sure that tcpdf can 
generate PDF out of HTML source. You also might want to have  a look at 
Apache FOP. It is a very powerfull tool that allows you to generate PDFs 
out of XML Templates. I used this a few years ago to dyamically generate 
PDFs, with content the user could manipulate. The downside would be, 
that you have to learn xsl:fo. The big advantage is, that you 
theoratically can generate PDFs out of every format you can convert 
using xsl stylesheets.

Cheers
