pdf generation

I have create a new project that does using the views module to generating PDF documents directly without of using the HTML layer between. The approach is using the fields of the view to positioning the data on the PDF document. You can specify for each element the position relative to the page, relative to another element or write in to the Header / Footer.

This enable the system to generate more printable versions of the content. In addition you can set a background PDF as a template. With this approach we can overcome the following disadvantages of other approaches:

I've been asked about this possibility: create a site containing a product list. This is the easy part. The difficult part is having everytime a PDF copy of this product list, that is having an up-to-date printable catalog, with cover and all that.

You get the point? Instead of having a printed catalog and a dude updating the website stuff, we only keep updated the website's product list and generate a new version of the catalog, including cover and other stuff, pressing "click" somewhere in the website.
