Here is an example of what you can do with cygwin, wget and hmtldoc

Steps 1 & 2 are only for Windows users

1. Get Cygwin
2. Select and install GCC and WGET options
3. Download htmldoc sources
4. If you plan to convert Russian html pages, you will need to download additional fonts.
5. Compile and install htmldoc

You will have to experiment with different pages and parameters. HTMLDOC seems to be quite picky about html, but it gives you some nice options.

Lets take Outbrash

Download the html first

Code:

wget -O outbrash.html http://www.outblush.com/women/home/

Now convert it to PDF

Code:

$ htmldoc --webpage  --gray --fontsize 14 --textfont helvetica --header . --footer . --left 2mm --right 2mm --top 5mm --bottom 5mm --size 5.24x6.69in -f outbrash.pdf outbrash.html
