[Zope] htmltopdf
Has anyone successfully used htmltopdf, a PHP script written by Jason Rust (www.rustyparts.com) to convert an HTML file to PDF, with Zope? In particular, I wanted to find out if anyone had used the python equivalent of this PHP script. I am currently in the process of trying this and if anyone has already done it, their input/help would be appreciated.
