Pretty sure calibre makes this easy if you don't wanna reinvent the wheel
- came here to say calibre! it works and the converting is super simple. takes a little while for pdf files since its a big file but it works
- Oh, I already have that installed. I'll try it.
There are a ton of options depending on your tech level.
How are you with basic Python scripts?
- I made the script to rip them in bash. I know python, lua, js, bash and powershell, anything using these works.
  
  I've used pdfkit to considerable success. It has a few system-level dependencies, but the instructions are pretty straightforward:
  
  # apt-get install wkhtmltopdf $ pip install pdfkit
  
  Surely you can figure out how to use existing libraries for this task, or is there something you’re stuck on?
  
  In a production web app I use Gotenberg. It’s definitely overkill for the task at hand, but if you find yourself doing this often I would highly recommend it. It’s dead easy to convert HTML (and I imagine XHTML) to PDF.
Scribus may help you with that
If when opened with a browser they have the right stylesheet, you can pirate m0nkrus' acrobat pro, then select all => right click => convert to pdf
