IIs there a gem for converting html to pdf?

I need to build a routine to step through a website and create a pdf from the
downloaded pages.

Thanks in advance

If not, you could probably just shell out to the open source htmldoc
http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/. There's a Perl interface you can learn
from, HTML-HTMLDoc
(http://search.cpan.org/~mkfrankl/HTML-HTMLDoc-0.10/). Or you could
build something out of "hpricot" and "pdf-writer".

This would probably work pretty good. I've done it before. A ruby
wrapper for this would be most appreciated, if anyone is looking for a
project!

If you do this, I suggest using Ruport instead of PDF::Writer for your
PDF stuff. Of course, Ruport just wraps PDF::Writer, but it fixes
some bugs (thanks to Austin Ziegler) and adds some higher level
features and helps wrap the formatting code.

Some relevant docs if that's feasible for you:

http://rubyreports.org/cheatsheets/formatting.html
http://ruportbook.com/printable_documents.html
http://ruportbook.com/integration.html#pdf_writer_proxy
http://ruportbook.com/renderer_logic.html

No Good.
It doesn't even fully support HTML 4 !
And no support for stylesheets...?
There must be other alternatives.
OS X has built-in print to PDF (has had for many years) so there must
be GNU tool to do it.

I have one that only works on OSX, but it works well. Lemme know if
you want it and I'll try to dig it up.
