Having coded document format conversion utilities for other applications, it 
seems to me the obvious choice would be to use ImageMagik to do the 
conversions. The convert utility, that ships with ImageMagik, among other 
things, will convert HTML to PDF files (As long as you have the ps2pdf 
utility that ships with ghostscript installed) with little effort. In 
addition to being able to produce PDF output, you also will have the ability 
to produce output in other formats:

AVS, BIE, BMP, CGM, CYMK, DCX, DIB, DICOM, EPDF, EPI. EPS, FAX+ GIF,
GREY, JPEG, MIFF, MPEG, PCD, PCL, PGM, PNG, PS2+, RGB, TIFF, TXT

Just to name a few...

I would be willing to spend some time creating a module for SQL-Ledger to 
produce this type of output. Any other takers...?... Just so you know, my perl
skill are probably not as strong as others on the list, but I do have pretty 
good amount of programming experience regarding document conversion and 
ImageMagik.
