Yes, Use jspdf To create a pdf file.

You can then turn it into a data URI and inject a download link into the DOM

You will however need to write the HTML to pdf conversion yourself.

Just use printer friendly versions of your page and let the user choose how he wants to print the page.

Edit: Apparently it has minimal support

So the answer is write your own PDF writer or get a existing PDF writer to do it for you (on the server).
