Hi

I have Squeeze/Wheezy and I use Iceweasel browser.
Which tool do I need, to save a webpage directly from Iceweasel in pdf format?

I think you should be able to print to file to achieve this with no additional software.

If you use cups for printing, you can add a generic cups-pdf print device as an additional
printer -- then when you print anything from anywhere (pretty much), just choose the cups-pdf
device as the printer, and there you go! (Instead of printing anything on the printer, the
cups-pdf device simply saves the stuff to be printed as a PDF file on your disk). See the
cups documentation for how to add this print device.

On my systems (Debian Sid, XFCE) PDF printing was set up already -- as I recall it was on Linux Mint and Kubuntu also.
