I written one XSD schema, I documented that schema using xmlpad, It generates the HTML documentation automatically for that XSD schema. Now I want to generate a PDF document for that HTML document. I thought to convert the HTML document to LaTeX and I am using pdflatex to generate the PDF document. But I don't know how to convert a HTML document to LaTeX? Is there any open source tool? Can anyone suggest a tool or any other way? I need to convert a HTML document to PDF.

I don't think it is a good idea. Every browser's "print" button can convert HTML to PDF directly, without the need to go through latex. – Federico Poloni Jan 27 '12 at 12:53

Have a look at this question: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3079/… – Psirus Jan 27 '12 at 13:01
I used the open-source-project TCPDF several times already for directly converting HTML-code to PDF. I don't see any advantage in doing this with LaTex, to be honest. However, TCPDF requires a local PHP-installation or a webserver to run on. – dhst Jan 27 '12 at 13:54

I don't know about LaTeX, but with ConTeXt MkIV, you can parse XML. For an example of parsing HTML, see the My Way by Thomas Schmitz

You could use pandoc to convert the HTML to LaTeX and then generate the PDF from the output.
