I am not sure what do you want exactly, but there are tools for converting
HTML to PDF (for example you can look for the phrase 'html2pdf' on google).
Also you may can convert the entire page with all pics and everything into a
CHM very easily with Internet Explorer, which then can be converted to PDF
again or you can use a CHM viewer, or the IE itself to read the document. Or
with few cheats you may can try doxyGen to generate PDF or PS. Or you may
can try to open the page with OpenOffice and export it to some other formats
(like PDF or DOC).
