This probably has more of what you're after: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/WKHTML2PDF If you're not on linux there is a was to access wkhtmltopdf via OSProcess in there as well I think. If not I can send you what I'm doing. Which is basically rendering the component to a file, having wkhtmltopdf do the conversion, and serving the pdf as a download in a tab that opens after some polling code posts a link to the PDF.
