[Scilab-users] xmltopdf() broken : workaround ?

Hello,

xmltopdf() aims to build a PDF version of help pages of a module.
The PDF is browsable (internal links between pages), and the rendering 
is similar as for the embedded pages.

Getting such a PDF is very convenient for instance to put it on the 
ATOMS page of the module, to provide a way to easily see help pages 
before installing a module (to see if the module is suitable to a need).

Unfortunately, xmltopdf() is broken 
<http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13555> for 4 years now.

Does anyone know an external (free) tool to convert a set of 
inter-hyperlinked HTML pages into a browsable PDF?

At first glance, i have not found any relevant tool.
Many tools are able to convert pages, but without internal links. Such a 
passive PDF can be built also by converting each page independently, and 
then merge them into a single PDF (in the right order ;).

Thanks for any hints and references

Samuel
