Not without some hard work, no. The problem is not the PDF or bitmap
generation, it's rather the rendering of the HTML, CSS, images
etc. into *any* format: it's a big job that only browsers really do
well, AFAIK.

I seem to recall people posting here about this problem in the past --
try Google Groups. I imagine most web browsers can generate
thumbnails, so a larger bitmap shouldn't be a problem. Browsers are
rather "heavyweight", though, and not ideal for running on a server.

If you're on Linux (or maybe even Windows soon, now that Qt4/win is
GPLed), you could maybe use DCOP to get the Konqueror browser to spit
out images without dragging in too much UI.

Google will find more:

You might consider using OpenOffice and talking to it through PyUno.
