I haven't actually tried this, but ...

Some time ago I evaluated htmldoc for producing help documentation for a
project. It seemed pretty good at converting html to pdf from what I
remember, so maybe if you were to put

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<body background="logo.gif">

at the top of the file and </body></html> at the bottom, and run it
through htmldoc, you might get something useful out. I dare say you would
need to replace all the newlines with <br /> as well.

Just an idea.

/Ciaran.
