This is why using walled-garden web-based forums is a bad idea. Web forums are designed specifically to take control away from you, chaining you to a GUI and mouse.
It's far more sensible to source your content from usenet, which (by design) gives you control by making all content available in a raw form, limited only by the capability of client side tools.
If you must draw your content from a phpbbs walled-garden, then you can often setup a RSS-usenet gateway at gwene. Once it's NNTP-accessible, then you can grab the raw text and easily do an automated markup to something like LaTeX, which can generate quite nice looking PDFs.
