html (with css) to pdf conversion in java script

Can anyone suggest a good (preferably free or inexpensive) java script library that can convert HTML (with css links) to PDF? Right now i am using flying java library. But the problem is when we switched over to https it fails to process the css files and doesnt work. Also every time I need to generate a pdf i need to do it on the server side. So a java script library (or any other client side scripting language) would be ideal.

Thanks!

Although it's very experimental and it doesn't work in every browser, here you may find a solution:

That looks pretty interesting, but it's a far cry from the facilities FlyingSaucer was providing to @hese. The FlyingSaucer tools convert XHTML with CSS (incl. some important print enhancements from CSS3) to PDF, and it's got a very powerful and capable layout engine.
