There's probably no [Tcl]-specific content to this page.
People often have need of [PDF] output. This is generally
regarded as a difficult format to write programmatically. One convenient way
to begin to work with PDF is to achieve it as a
transform from [HTML]. Several tools change HTML to PDF,
including:
* '''HTMLDOC''' - A commercially supported version is here: [http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/] <
>For an open source version of the same program, look here [http://htmldoc.org/index.php]
* '''Apache FOP''' [http://xml.apache.org/fop/] - actually that's XML/XHTML -> XML-FO -> PDF
* '''HTML2PDF''' [http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/5247/] <
>[D. McC] Dead link for HTML2PDF--12/8/2004
* My Personal favourite: Use '''html2ps''' [http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html] to go from html to [PostScript] and then the standard '''ps2pdf''' [http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/8.50/Ps2pdf.htm] program. You get a pdf with intra-page links working. [VI]
* '''Bottle Neck''' [http://wolf-dieter-busch.de/html/Software/Bottle_Neck.htm] is a converter HTML->TeX. If you take PDFlatex, the effect is HTML->PDF.
I wonder whether something using [tclxml] and [pdflib] (or [pdf4tcl]) might
be able to be written to do this transformation.
