Not without some hard work, no. The problem is not the PDF or bitmap generation, it's rather the rendering of the HTML, CSS, images etc. into *any* format: it's a big job that only browsers really do well, AFAIK. I seem to recall people posting here about this problem in the past -- try Google Groups. I imagine most web browsers can generate thumbnails, so a larger bitmap shouldn't be a problem. Browsers are rather "heavyweight", though, and not ideal for running on a server. If you're on Linux (or maybe even Windows soon, now that Qt4/win is GPLed), you could maybe use DCOP to get the Konqueror browser to spit out images without dragging in too much UI.
