Thanks for the suggestions Russ and Adam.

My first go at this was to use the source. I wrote a script that takes
all the rst files and combines into one. It's not as straight forward
as it sounds because there are conflicts with files using the same
names for link targets and sources which needs a bit of munging. And
there are a few rst errors which break the rst tools. Anyway, after a
bit of hand tuning I had a file with everthing in it. I put this
through rst2html and rst2pdf - it works but it does not look good -
some people like LaTeX output but I don't. I didn't want to spend an
age figuring out LaTeX style sheets etc.

I also tried making PDFs one files at a time. This is easier but the
cross references then don't work. And it still looks like LaTeX.

I did not know that Acrobat could spider a site and make a PDF. I just
tried (on a Mac, Acrobat Pro 7). Again it works. But the print style
sheet is not used. (I know I could have fixed this on a local copy of
the pages.) On some pages the sidebar is expanded to take up most of
the page width. Each HTML page comes out as one very long PDF page
(not paginated). Again Arobat may have options to fix these things but
I can't find them.

The PDF produced by rendering the web page looks much better and is
easier to read IMHO. YMMV.

Kind regards

Simon
