The program/package htmldoc works wonderfully for my taste and since it lets you use Times, Courier and Helvetica as fonts for the PS or PDF, the files generated are quite small (since these fonts are in the Base 14 set).

I could not find using apt search. You've got HTML to PS. Then PS to PDF is trivial. The GS scripts require an input and output file sudo aptitude install html2ps gs-common for f in *.html do # Names of PS & PDF $fpdf=$( echo $f | sed -e 's/\.html/.pdf/' ) html2ps $f - | ps2pdf - $fpdf done Note that what you get out _won't_ in all likelihood look much like the original HTML. It's going to be a largely unstyled, though if your document includes contextual markup (e.g.: , etc.) rather than stupid box-and-font tricks, it should be highly readable and will get its own automajick ToC stuff.

Tex to PDF conversion trouble (pdflatex)
Having now had some annoying, incomprehensible screw-up with WP9 where its equation editor no longer displays things correctly, I've started looking for alternatives (again). OpenOffice and KOffice have both been ruled out because of a problem with silly looking output where accent-type characters float miles above the character that they are supposed to be on top of. I've been experimenting with LyX and once I figure out what it is actually doing by looking at the file it generates in an editor like kate I'll probably carry on that way. At any rate, I can't seem to print anything from it. I tried exporting it to .dvi or .pdf as well as printing to file, but no go. I was able to export it to .tex however. So I ran pdflatex and texi2pdf on the .tex file and got the following error message with both: I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'! So off I went and googled on that and came up with a few bites, notably that I had to create such a file (which I have done using 'pdftex -ini -fmt=pdflatex latex.ltx') and that I had to put it in the TEXFORMATS path of texmf.cnf. I found that file sitting in /etc/texmf. Unfortunately, I can't figure out the path stucture of anything in that file, as it all begins with .; , and, to top it off, one is apparently not supposed to edit it anyway. So, what I'd like to know is: 1) Where do I put pdflatex.fmt now that I have created it 2) Where and how do I specify a path to it In case this matters, tetex-bin and tetex-base are installed.
