What I did was to write a script which combined all the HTML pages
into one, and then another script to internalize the links.
O.O. Writer was then able to handle this single HTML page, and produce PDF
etc with working internal links.
There was a lot of work in this, and I don't think I'd do it the same way
again.
It occurs to me that if what you really want is printed documentation,
then preserving the links in the final result is not significant. (Paper is
not hypertext.) Page-numbers are a different matter.

Roger,
thanks for your response. I use the Open Office Writer and read HTML as
well as generate PDF.
But when having multiple HTML-Files, how do you manage the links to other
chapters?
When looking to your excellent book, links are the same whether HTML or
PDF.
Do you have to reenter all links when you import the HTML files?
Or is there some facility to translate the HTML-links into
cross-references?
As I understood Skip Caves mail, the latter is possible with Adobe
Acrobat.
Thanks, Markus

Markus,
You might like to look at Open Office, and its "Writer" word-processor.
It can read HTML and generate PDF. It is free. I recommend it highly.
It runs on Windows and Linux. See www.openoffice.org
I used Open Office Writer to make versions of "Learning J" in PDF and
in MS Word format. If you want printed documents, Open Office can
produce them directly. There is no need to go to PDF.
The User manual and the Primer are many HTML files. Open Office Writer
can import them one at a time, not all together.
Hope this is useful.
Regards, Roger

Well that is interesting, as I understand you require the Adobe Acrobat
PDF Writer ? Version ?
Thank for your information,
Regards, Markus

I use Adobe Acrobat to scan HTML docs to a specified level of links,
and then Acrobat will put the resulting pages into a single PDF file,
which I can read online, or print out. I also often use the "bookmark"
feature in Acrobat to build a hyperlinked index that can be popped up
on the left of the doc on the screen. I have put most of the J doc into
PDF for my own use at one time or another.
