I suppose for the practical use you outline (filling out form to scan and email back) ti would be suffcient to have users print a xhtml+css page. Since it is only a one time use only paper, not to be archived, or not to be un-editable or secured, it doesn't need to be in PDF format at all. In fact soem people might not have adobe reader integrated in their browser. Would you agree that print page is 'good enough' or did I forget something? In that case, I could just modify the script for a printpage. Others might say that in that case you could do the whole 'filling out a from to print' thing clientside with jquery (if the data is entered by hand, not pulled from your web2py app...)
