I’ve just tried this out and it more or less worked. There were one or two snags which shows that the festure needs to have a few bugs ironed out of it. For one, the formatting from webpage to PDF is not entirely perfect and two, when I tried to view the PDF, it told me that I had to download various PDF addons such as Chinese fonts!!!
