Default Creating a pdf file from web pages

I'm trying to create a pdf file of online forum posts. Using the
browser print to pdf option works, but only up to a point in that the
saved pdf file includes all the hidden text in the online original
rather than just the text and images I see without clicking or hovering.
Hope that makes sense.

How can I best save what I see?

Secondly, having hopefully achieved the above, can I combine pdf files?
The forum I want to save consists of 30 threads, each with 3 or 4 pages.
Saving as above means saving one page at a time which is OK, but would
leave me with 100+ pdf files.

Any recommended prog or add on I could use? Ideally open source i.e.
cheap or free?

Thanks!


Lyx. Does an amazing job of merging PDFs. But it does take quite some getting your head around it.

Free - tick.
