Hi there,
Different editors use different tools. I start with
xhtml source (tidied with HTML tidy [1])
Then (on my Linux machine):
For xhtml to text: lynx
For gzipped tar files: tar (with the z option)
For zip files: gzip
For xhtml to ps: html2ps
http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps.html
For ps to pdf: ps2pdf (part of ghostscript)
