Ghostscript is the way to generate pdf's from html, can't remember but you may have to convert to postscript from html then to pdf and tex might be involved. The lilypond documentation build does all sorts of conversions here's a link to a build log : https://build.opensuse.org/package/rawlog?arch=x86_64&package=lilypond&project=multimedia%3Aapps&repository=openSUSE_11.3 The build log is enormous and you can dissect lilyponds documentation Makefiles, it uses automake. I was thinking in terms of somebody with a laptop far from ap's. I installed 11.3 and kde4.4 on an acer aspire one including rosegarden and various other multimedia toys with a stock kernel-desktop and I was impressed with what something that looks like a toy could do. I find pdfs cumbersome to use myself.
