printing

I need a method to be able to print/save the current full webpage as a PDF.

I know it can be done if I download a PDF printer and print to that; but I need it to be done without the user having to do anything other than click a button in a webpage.

I can't do it via PHP as the page is all client side content, so I'm guessing an ActiveX component?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks
