I did something similar to this some time ago. There is software that will convert from html to postscript (html2ps), and then there is the ps2pdf project which will convert the postscript to a pdf file. I had success with this approach, though I had to tune my html and a number of ghostscript settings to get it to produce exactly the output that I wanted.
