I noticed an svg folder filled with xhtmls, which are rendered fantastically using firefox (I'm on ubuntu). How can I combine those xhtml's to a single PDF? There must be a way to do it, and filesize does not interest me for now. Any suggestions on how to convert the individual files containing SVG to a single PDF?

I use a nice tool called "Multi-html converter" to join all the little html or xhtml files from an ePub extraction together to make a neat single HTML file, which can then be opened in BookDesigner to make FB2s, etc. I assume you can also easily generate a PDF from this file also. Acrobat Pro can take an HTML input and create a PDF.
Acrobat can also take multiple files and create a single PDF, so you can select all the little xhtml files, then select the correct order (if they are not logically named to already be in order) and then generate the PDF. As you have (I think) a collection of esentially pages (each xhtml) from the Topaz, the PDF created should match the pagination of the original. If I was to create a PDF from a set of ePub xhtml files, the pagination within chapters (or whatever defines the xhtml file splits) would probably not match.
