does anyone know how to use html to force a web page to create a static pdf version of itself and store it in its own directory? I want to do this via code only, and without third party software.

Thanks
Vic

That's assuming he uses .NET which most people don't. Besides, it's not what he wants.

Yes
If u r using PHP, then u can find a free class for converting html into pdf. Search for 'fpdf' in the net and u can download the class. But it is not like submitting the html page and getting the pdf on the fly. You should make your own pdf using the class.
