I (well my boss actually) want to convert several hundred html pages to
pdf - what's the easiest way to do this? Any pointers, ideas?
I guess I'm looking for a tool like pdf2html (but going in the reverse
direction).
I've found a php module called html2pdf [1] - just wondering if there's
a stand alone tool callable from the shell.

Well it depends on how well formed the HTML is. If its crap it could be hard to
create neat, good looking PDF. Here are possibilities:
1. If its got few tags and is very neat maybe use sed/bash scripting to convert
it to
latex and run pdflatex on it. This is easily scriptable to do several hundred
files.
2. Script Open Office. OpenOffice can take in HTML and produce PDF.
