Opening HTML page, then saving it to PDF

Question

I need to open an .html file first and display that info on the web browser. Then once it is open have it save that .html page to a pdf on my server.

Are you looking for something free and/or simple? Oracle's UCM — well, Inbound Refinery — can do the conversion of HTML to PDF, but it's a serious, industrial-strength solution.

EDIT:
I see you've got the php tag going. You may find these three questions relevant:

If you are willing to kick off a simple python script to do the job, PyODConverter can convert from HTML (among many other formats) to PDF and vice versa. It is a wrapper to the underlying JODConverter java library (which can also be run from the CLI)

wkhtmltopdf might be useful for something like this. It's a simple command line tool.
