Can you render the page to PDF and display the PDF? Maybe you could
render the page into bitmaps if you aren't able to support PDF.

Hi all,
I'm working on Google Chrome and trying to come up with a way to
implement print preview. To be able to display it in a separate tab
we need to be able to duplicate the current page in memory so the
user can continue to interact with the original page. Javacript,
animations etc should continue on the original page but be frozen in
the print preview version.
What I've tried so far is to select everything on the page
(Frame::selection()->SelectAll()) and Frame::GetSelection(true) but
the HTML does not fully describe the page and this has the downside
of modifying the users selection on the page.
I've poked around in WebKit a bit and as far as I can tell the
document, rendertree and the views are fairly integrated and not
easy to take a snapshot of the full state of the document. I would
appreciate any insights on this though since I might have missed
something obvious.
If nothing existing can be reused then adding this functionality
should benefit all ports. But again I need your insights on how
this can be done (if at all).
