Generating pdf on fly

Question

hi
I'm looking for a tool that will generated pdf content for my site http://alefajnie.pl (gadgets store)
I want have an option to load a page as pdf
when product images goes as background and description is nice __auto__ formatted.
I don't wanna produce pdf from scratch somewhere in my code at server side,
it should be something with toolbar (like js, ..) with option to change content from html to pdf.
For example such plugin for product "kula plazmowa":
http://alefajnie.pl/gadzety/kula-plaznowa/
should get all product images and set from them backgrounds
and rest text should be used as product description.
and all should be generated on client side (client computer) after choosing a option from some js toolbar.
is such toolbar exists ?

If your site visitors have Adobe Acrobat on their system, they can print to Adobe PDF from their browser.
     File > Print > Adobe PDF.
I am not aware of any client-side scripts that will force a page to automatically print to paper or PDF.   The best you can do is open a print dialogue screen with an option to print.  The rest is entirely up to your site visitors.
     <input type="button" value="Print Page" onClick="javascript:window.print();">
If you want to make HTML to PDF docs on the fly, you'll need to use a server-side script.  This one works with PHP. http://www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/
