You've got HTML to PS. Then PS to PDF is trivial. The GS scripts
require an input and output file
sudo aptitude install html2ps gs-common
for f in *.html
do
# Names of PS & PDF
$fpdf=$( echo $f | sed -e 's/\.html/.pdf/' )
html2ps $f - | ps2pdf - $fpdf
done
Note that what you get out _won't_ in all likelihood look much like the
original HTML. It's going to be a largely unstyled, though if your
document includes contextual markup (e.g.: <h1> <h2>, etc.) rather than
stupid box-and-font tricks, it should be highly readable and will get
its own automajick ToC stuff. You won't get pretty colors and all that
jazz.
Oooh.... Unless you RTFM. Neat, I just learned some stuff :-)
Peace.
