Does anyone know of a way of making PDFs from a sequence of URLS/multiple URLs for webpages? For example, I want to print individual PDFs from a batch of webpages via their URLs. Is there an alternative to using html2ps and ps2pdf (batch convert htm files to pdf)? How can I take a list of URLs and convert them to individual PDF files?

Use wkhtmltopdf
It's a webkit based web client that outputs to PDF. Being webkit based, it's somewhat modern (though hasn't been updated in a bit), and has CSS support.
First write all your URL's in a .htm file on your computer.
in Acrobat Pro (v9) :
- Menu file > Create PDF > From Web Page… => Opens the 'Create PDF' window
- Enter the URL = http/... or in your case browse to the html file you created
- Click 'Capture Multiple Levels' > Get only = 2 levels
- Click 'Settings…" to adjust the page size, margins, etc
- Click 'Create' and wait while Acrobat constructs the file
Weeny is one option. It's a freeware application available at
I've used this to successfully to convert 3000 URLs to PDF.

If you want a contiguous PDF as a human user would create it by browsing over a website, check with webshot.website. Their free trial is already sufficient in many cases, and if not it is still cheap to get an advanced one.
