Sorry about that. I've had broadband long enough now that I forget the whole world isn't hooked up at 3Mb. Sorry again. The program doesn't actually produce pdf directly. It really generates Latex which in turn can be generated into a number of formats. I decided to do it after running html2latex and seeing how poor a job it did in the conversion. I'm going to add some style sheet support, clean it up, then probably declare victory and move on.
