Help with printer friendly pages

[jsteiner87]

I am trying to make printer friendly pages for pages that can have different lengths. I have tables displaying information and I don't want them cut off in the middle of the page when printed. What is the best way of going about this?

With the vagaries of browser vendors and the resultant differences in CSS implementations, this can be difficult.

You might also consider making your printer-friendly page a dynamically-generated PDF.

I have looked into making dynamically-generated PDFs but the pages I need to be displayed as a PDF has many tables. Can you point me in the right direction on how to make a dynamic PDF (without php_pdf.dll)?

You may want to look at using the FPDF library, you can download it at the FPDF site. It is a class for creating PDFs with pure PHP, it requires no extensions to be installed.
