I have a HTML page that is dynamically built. Within the page is a Google Map. The page is called and processed to output as a PDF using a PDF generation class. My problem is that when the PDF completes it is missing the map.

My question is, how or what program (open source or not) can i use to get the map to show. Currently the PDF class im using is [url]http://www.*****.com/s_html2ps_html2pdf.htm[/url]. It is so far the best i have found. It will not capture Flash/AJAX Google, MapQuest, or Yahoo Maps. It will though capture the non-javascript version of Yahoo Maps. I have looked and cannot find an API for this older style map. If anyone has an idea, please send along. I have also tried these PDF programs, http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/, http://www.fpdf.org/.

Alternatively, i would also like to know if there are any suggestions on PHP scripts/programs that will fill data into a MS Word doc, or generate a Word doc like a PDF. Similar to how Access can.

Thanks Much

    I don't think you are going to find any solution other than invoking a screen shot utility, saving the Flash / Ajax / DHTML as a GIF / JPG / PNG and including that in the PDF.

      do you have any suggestions of a good screen capture utility to do this with?

        Sorry, I do server side PHP programming. I know zilch about client side stuff.

        The main reason I responded to your post was to give you an idea of what you could realistically expect. There are a number of reasons why it doesn't make sense for anyone to build the thing that you are looking for.
