(HTML + CCS3 Generated Content for Paged Media) to PDF?

Is there any way to render a PDF from a HTML doc styled with CSS3 Generated Content for Paged Media?

If there is not an application like that, what can I use as a base to build such a converter?

Thanks

  • They only application I know of that can possibly convert HTML/CSS3 to good quality PDF is PrinceXML. (And it is my impression, that Google licensed and utilizes their code somehow in GoogleDocs for PDF export.)

    However, this is a commercial application, and I think it comes with a hefty price tag.

    One of it's leading lights is Håkon Lie, who is also behind all the technical achievements of the Opera web browser.

    Here is a 2 years old Google Tech Talks video where Lie outlines some of the technologie behind PrinceXML:
