You can use Views PDF module with Rules to achieve that.

Could you explain how ? I can see that there is an action in Rules to save the PDF file but what event should I link this to, or do I have to write my own ?

Thanks

El Bandito,

You can write your own module to generated pdf using dompdf library. use hook hook_node_presave($node) to get the contents.

you can get the dompdf library from dompdf and then you can use the following code to save the content.

require_once(realpath(".") . "/sites/all/libraries/dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
spl_autoload_register('DOMPDF_autoload');
$html = "Your content in html format"
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$pdf = $dompdf->output();
$file = file_save_data($pdf, 'public://'.$filename);

in this way you can create pdf by writing a custom module
