[gentoo-user] [OT] Web page to pdf

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I couldn't find a solution by using Google.

Say, I have a web page consisting of the file index.html with links to  
other files (and so on) in the same directory or
subdirectories thereof.
I'd like to generate a single pdf file *** where links are converted to  
(pdf) bookmarks ***.
Does anybody know such a (free) tool?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Currently I use the Firefox cmdlnprint plugin and concatenate the files  
by pdftk.
But this looses all link information.
