If you are using Firefox, there is an add-on called Printpdf. It puts a "print to pdf" selection on the file menu. You can also go to file/page setup first and modify the page before you print to pdf. Works great!

Calibre does it all; there is a bit of a learning curve... but check the link http://calibre-ebook.com/ and also look at the calibre forum right here on mobileread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166
