adding top and bottom margins adds a lot to the 'readibility' of the final .pdf

wkhtmltopdf -B 10mm -T 10mm $p $f

Those with a patched qt can also add page numbers if they so desire. wkhtmltopdf is wonderful indeed. Thanks for the script g-P!

For the non-privileged, pdftk will also combine the extracted chapters just fine.

pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf cat output combined.pdf
