I see one solution so far:

http://www.htmldoc.org/

Are there any more out there which are suggested?

HTMLDOC is the standard – any reason for not wanting to use it? – slhck Sep 21 '11 at 19:30
I just didn't know it was "The" standard - so I asked. But from your answer, I understand that I should not bother with alternatives :) – Tal Galili Sep 21 '11 at 20:27
I've searched for similar things but – at least on *nix systems, I've always got back to HTMLDOC :) – slhck Sep 21 '11 at 20:32

One alternative to HTMLDOC is Prince.

PROs: Prince can handle most of CSS (which HTMLDOC can't) and use almost all fonts (where HTMLDOC PDFs contain only Helvetica, Times and Courier) and translate HTML/XML input into really well looking pages.

CONs: Unlike HTMLDOC, Prince isn't OpenSource software (though free as in beer for private use, putting a rather unobtrusive logo on PDF pages created with it).

PrinceXML is made by a small Australian company and seems to be also driving Google Docs' PDF output.

HTMLDOC is 'good enough' for most people's needs (and also provides quite a few features which Prince doesn't).
