Buying PHP script to convert HTML to image

    I need a php script that will take the given html page (either in form of URL or in form of source code, no matter for me) and make it an image .

    Requirements:
    1. should be a server-side PHP script (library) which will work on normal unix web hosting accounts (i.e. no dependencies upon server being a windows)
    2. the resulting image should look exactly like the page you see in your browser
    3. should be able to parse large tables (multi-page tables).

    Be carefull with the 3-rd point, i have come across many pre-made converters which simply fail when it comes to spreading an object over two pages (such as splitting a tall table or a tall div).


    It may depend on anything a normal unix server has (such as GD library and anything else)

    If you are someone capable of doing this , please name your price and be sure to show me the demo (just set it up somewhere online so i can input a test URL and see what kind of image it will return).

    no i don't want to run a service like that, i need my own HTML converter for our own in-house built software.

    It needs to be something that will work on a unix server. It needs NOT to be a 3-rd party service. Our documents are sensitive and are not to be converted by any third party
