You must not read the Ubuntu lists. :-)

Hi all.
I need to convert many type of files (.gif, .jpeg, html pages...) in 
.pdf format.

And i need to do this in a shell-way.
The goal is to have a script (partially done, except for the 
conversion!) that download every day some front-page daily paper and 
convert all in pdf with a specific name (like MMDD_dailypapername.PDF).

Which is the better tool to do this conversion?
Thanks!
