I have created an improved version of Hagindaz's
Wiki2LaTeX (
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Hagindaz/Wiki2LaTeX) tool, which helps
creating PDF versions of books. It can download the whole book with images and
automatically generate LaTeX source code, which can be directly translated into a PDF
file. Still, some knowledge of LaTeX is required, but the tool can greatly reduce time of
preparing PDF version of a textbook.
Currently it supports output in two languages (Polish and English), but adding support
for new ones is quite easy.
The description of the program can be found at
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Derbeth/javaLatex. Example output is here:

Just curious: When using images, does it
* get the image authors as well?
* list individual image licenses somewhere?
