Converting an HTML page to PDF with PD4ML.

PD4ML is a PDF generating tool that uses HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) as page layout and content definition format. Written in 100% pure Java, it allows users to easily add PDF generation functionality to end products. With PD4ML you can control PDF page size, orientation and page breaks, while adding formatted headers, footers and page numbering. PD4ML is Unicode compatible to support most of Asian, Middle-East, European and Latin character sets. True Type and Open Type fonts embedding is supported including font styling such as Bold and Italic.
