I would suggest installing the WKHtmlToPDF tool from http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ (moved from: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/).

You can then change to the root folder and use find and xargs to convert them:

cd /main-folder

find . -name *.html | sed 's/.html$//g' | xargs -n 1 --replace=X wkhtmltopdf X.html X.pdf

This will then build a PDF with each HTML file.
