PDF should only be used when page layout is mandatory.  If you just need the
information (text + images), then HTML is a much better format.

wget isn't bad. lynx and curl might work too.  The real issue is whether you
need JS or not.  Stripping JS from pages is easy - just use a text/simple
browser ... dillo comes to mind.

Avoiding JS is smart. Why let remote systems run code on yours?
