[LRUG] PDF generation from HTML with complex JS

[Stephen Bartholomew]

I did mention this in my post - but I shyed away due to needing to purchase
before testing - however your reply made me look again and they do have a
non-commercial version for download now.  This will at least allow me to
test before getting a commercial license.

I'll give that a go and let you know how I get on :)
