There is a standard library module for parsing html that should have come
with your distribution.  There is a publicly-available module or package
for writing pdf files - either search 'pdf' in newgroup/mlist archives
(still available at python.org?) or wait for someone to supply the
reference.

Connecting the two should be an interesting project that will get you well
started with Python.
Suggestion: start with simple html files restricted to a subset of html (no
tables, forms, etc) and get that to work.
