stupid html question

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Two easy ways:

In your browser, print the page to a file. It will be PostScript.

Then, do:

	ps2pdf the_file.ps

This will create the_file.pdf

Your system may even have a PDF printer queue (SUSE does). It automates
these steps, but does basically the same thing.

The other way is to open the html file in OpenOffice. From there it
should be possible to export to PDF. If not (depends on your version),
you can repeat the steps above: print to a file and convert with ps2pdf.
