I thought so, because i also had the same kind of problem except it was in ASP.NET C#, I decided to implement the PDF design separately as a template and then paste whatever content that was needed in the report on the template before merging it and downloading it to the user.

Styling of content is handled differently and independently for each output format. Sadly HTML styling is not given enough emphasis in c/c++ pdf libs. Could have been a very very usefull shortcut.

2012/11/1 James Nzomo <kazikubwa@gmail.com> @Ashok, Not really rendering html as pdf, but specifying styling & images using basic html. Take TCPDF (php pdf lib) for example. It has a function writeHTML() illustrated here http://www.tcpdf.org/examples/example_006.phps
@wanjohi. I've used libharu. I'm now considering adding the above functionality to it.
I basically want to generate & export some reports to basic HTML,PDF and maybe excell without too much programming overhead. The HTML & PDF exports must look simmilar.
Have you looked into using XSL-FO ?
Ashok

But at the end of the day it will depend what you intend to achieve in your application.
Hope this helps
