after search with keywords "html to pdf" i got this http://www.htmltopdf.org/download.html,
using pisa i have been able build from faq1.html-faq15.html into .pdf format with internal links, so if you convert this html with pisa, i open pdf with xpdf, and i can using internal link in pdf document.

but i got a weird result for index.html from faq, after convert, index.pdf has nothing, only blank page.

regards

I'd still suggest you stick with the html pages, as the FAQ is a fast
moving target (especially as the release date comes close), and there
are many times corrections too. And I am pretty sure that any system
that lets you read pdfs', would also help you read htmls' ;-)
