HTMLDOC is a previously commercially developed open-source program that converts HTML web pages and files to indexed HTML, PostScript, and PDF files, complete with a table-of-contents and (in the current development snapshot) index. HTMLDOC can be used from the command-line, a simple GUI, or from a web server.

Features and limitations

HTMLDOC 1.8.x supports most of HTML 3.2 with some elements of HTML 4.01, with no support for CSS.[1][2] HTMLDOC 1.9.x will support most of HTML 4.01 and CSS1, with some support for selected CSS2.x properties.[3]

HTMLDOC 1.8.x supports the following character sets: Windows-874, Windows-1250, Windows-1251, Windows-1252, Windows-1253, Windows-1255, Windows-1256, Windows-1257, Windows-1258, ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-3, ISO-8859-4, ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-8, ISO-8859-9, ISO-8859-14, ISO-8859-15, KOI8-R; you cannot mix characters from different code pages.
