There are a ton of options depending on your tech level.
How are you with basic Python scripts?

I made the script to rip them in bash. I know python, lua, js, bash and powershell, anything using these works.

I've used pdfkit to considerable success. It has a few system-level dependencies, but the instructions are pretty straightforward:
# apt-get install wkhtmltopdf $ pip install pdfkit

Surely you can figure out how to use existing libraries for this task, or is there something you’re stuck on?
-
Can't really find many good ones. Google isn't returning much, just pdfs about python libraries and the odd abandoned github repo
-
I’d start with wkhtmltopdf/pdfkit

In a production web app I use Gotenberg. It’s definitely overkill for the task at hand, but if you find yourself doing this often I would highly recommend it. It’s dead easy to convert HTML (and I imagine XHTML) to PDF.
