The problem using server side option is that I have a web site with a lot of pages. For every page I need to generate a PDF; so I need to create a Java class for every html page where I reproduce the html layout (since the PDF must be the same as the html shown on the screen).
Another problem is that I got a lot of form: printing a form with some text with a client side option is easy: in the server side option I need to send keep in mind all the data the user has insert. I know is a strange user requirement to save every page as PDF... I wonder if is techincally possible. Thanks a lot.
