Ralf,
I have not used it myself, but this may do the job:

As an alternate you could load the html into word and save readonly.

Ralf,
the only thing I can find is HTMLDOC, but not sure if a HPUX version is available.
You can always get the source and then try to port ;-)
Hope somebody else finds something.

Why not download to PC and then convert?

Ralf,
why not:

open scheduled ftp session from PC
pull the html files from server input dir.
convert html to pdf via PC product
upload pdf to server output directory

You can control the down/upload via flagfiles, whose presence/absence mean start/stop the transfer.

Means writing DOS batchjob (Shudder!!)
Hope this idea helps, if you can't find a HPUX convertor.

You will need to compile it yourself on 11.11/11.22/11.23

Ralf,
you can always rely on a Pharaoh like Robert-Jan to know the exact details.
For some reason I never found the HPUX version of HTMLDOC.

Sorry Peter, I did not realize that we searched for the same software :-)

Tried to locate compiled depot files for > 11i (no luck!)

Best regards,

Ralf,
cd /
find . -name libfltk.sl

Include this path in your SHLIB_PATH and PATH environment variables and try again.

Ralf,
glut and Mesa are also dependencies.
Are they already installed?
