You can use html to pdf converter see the link http://www.rustyparts.com/pdf.php
First read your php file and then write that to an html file then convert this html to pdf file using above specified link program.

Hey, I'm new to all this but had a question along these lines. I have an html form online that once the user submits the form, it gets emailed directly to me as an html email. It's been working out ok, but could be better. Ideally, i'd like to have it sent as a pdf so I can just print out the attachment.
Do you know how i can go about doing this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
Joe
