Hacky solution: On a suitably equipped unix-like system one might... mkdir dlbook;cd dlbook;wget --recursive --level=1 http://www.deeplearningbook.org/ cd www.deeplearningbook.org/contents python import pdfkit pdfkit.from_file( ["TOC.html","acknowledgements.html","notation.html","intro.html","part_basics.html","linear_algebra.html","prob.html","numerical.html","ml.html","part_practical.html","mlp.html","regularization.html","optimization.html","convnets.html","rnn.html","guidelines.html","applications.html","part_research.html","linear_factors.html","autoencoders.html","representation.html","graphical_models.html","monte_carlo.html","partition.html","inference.html","generative_models.html","bib.html","index-.html"], "Goodfellow-et-al-2016-Book.pdf") Better solutions? edit: changed ".pdf" from a slightly longer approach to ".html" which actually exists in this workflow. Thanks @TheCabin! edit(2): ... and gave a valid path to this listdir. Check before I post... check before I post... edit(3): ... and removed the os.listdir line no longer needed in this approach. Gosh. Just ignore what I was saying and build your own approach. That'll probably be faster at this rate. edit(4): Don't import os without using it.

This isn't working, is it? Where is the script supposed to get the files ..., linear_algebra.pdf,... from?

  Absolutely right. That's erroneously copied from converting each HTML file separately with the intention to merge afterwards. Thank you for pointing that out!

Just found this gist: https://gist.github.com/luoyetx/a44eea84272123f608dcf737588cdfa7 https://gist.github.com/luoyetx/a44eea84272123f608dcf737588c... Avoids the awkward file system structure by using pdfkit.from_url, but creates one .pdf for each chapter. I tried using a list of urls, but pdfkit failed because my version of wkhtmltopdf did not accept multiple input files. Edit: pdfkit.from_file also fails on my system when passing multiple files. If that works for you, multiple urls are probably fine, too.

Only returns a blank pdf page for me...

  In my case too. I guess it is related to the wkhtmltopdf version and the woff fonts.

    For what it's worth I got pretty decent conversion results of one file at a time with the Ubuntu repository version (0.9.9) But that version doesn't work with collecting it into a single output file, no. I think it was a mistake to try shaving off a couple of lines and a step at the price of a more convoluted install and a brittle process. Most people would probably be best off just converting one HTML file at a time to pdf (e.g. pdfkit.from_file(filename_in_html,filename_in_html[:-4]+".pdf") in some sort of iteration over the file names) and then concatenating the resulting PDF:s, for instance from command line by pdftk TOC.pdf acknowledgements.pdf notation.pdf intro.pdf part_basics.pdf linear_algebra.pdf prob.pdf numerical.pdf ml.pdf part_practical.pdf mlp.pdf regularization.pdf optimization.pdf convnets.pdf rnn.pdf guidelines.pdf applications.pdf part_research.pdf linear_factors.pdf autoencoders.pdf representation.pdf graphical_models.pdf monte_carlo.pdf partition.pdf inference.pdf generative_models.pdf bib.pdf index-.pdf cat output Goodfellow-et-al-2016-Book.pdf Sorry if I contributed to wasting your time.
