I have a file called Sindex.html that i would like to convert to a pdf file and make it viewable with xpdf... how do i do it?

ah come on man, try and find these things for yourself, it's cool...

easiest way i think is to load teh doc in a browser, print it to a ps file, and then use ps2pdf to convert it.

[hseritt@chijtska store]$ ps2pdf perltutorial.html well, acid.... i gave it a whirl and this is what happened:

[chijtska@chijtska store]$ ps2pdf perltutorial.html perltutorial.pdf

what do you think may have went wrong?

You didn't print it to a postscript file first! You can't convert an html file to PDF using the ps2pdf command.

oh duh...

sorry ... youre right...
