Server based HTML to PDF converter

I've come across numerous scripts which allow you to generate a PDF doc from an html page. However they all seem to utilitize free webservices to do so (scripts running on other servers).

They all seem to work fine, but obviously no one wants to have to rely on a free web services, as they always have a habit of disappearing (and leaving your script ******)

The only standalone scripts i've been able to find dont allow you to 'convert' an html page, but instead you have to 'build' the PDF line by line (a real pain).

Any ideas?

Are you looking for a free solution or willing to pay honest money for honest work? If the latter, then I'll sell you a copy of what I have created for a company...

This is done using [ UNIX/Linux or Windows ] and a Perl script.
