Out of curiosity I just did a quick followup experiment with xhtml2pdf after
installing it:

1) I read the documentation page here:
http://www.xhtml2pdf.com/doc/pisa-en.html
2) Then I saved the page to my desktop as "pisa Documentation.html" (the
default filename)
3) Then I issued (as suggested in the documentation) the command:
 xhtml2pdf -s "pisa Documentation.html"
4) xhtml2pdf then spat out some messages and generated "pisa
Documentation.pdf"

The result is (I think) pretty good.   I must note that I've not encountered
any real problems so far either installing it or using it, so I must
conclude that whatever installation issues you ran into was due to something
specific to your current platform, or to something you've done, and not due
to bugs in xhtml2pdf as you suggested.  (In fact the results are so good
that I'm planning on playing around with this in Python a bit more myself...
might come in very handy for generating reports and suchlike at some point
no doubt...)
