I'm also developing an HTML->PDF feature and jumped when I saw this! I tried smashingmag.com - which is funny because i meant smashingmagazine.com but actually smashingmag.com is some japanese site. either way i got back a totally blank pdf - maybe japanese character set is to blame?

One other caveat is that having the ability to view flash would be awesome as well. main function of pdf as i understand it is to create a document that PRINTS completely identically on every setup, so frequently people are going to want to print flash, which is already a huge pain in the ass. Unfortunately it looks like it blanks out completely if there is flash on the page (2advanced.net)

if you could solve that i would start paying tomorrow.
