Thanks Harriet. I tried 15 other converters before asking - this one did
not turn up on a duckduckgo search before I gave up.

The page doesn't display well in Netsurf but the "Drop file here" box is
evident. It was a large (9MB) file and nothing appeared to happen. I had
nearly given up when Netsurf's download window appeared. Now down to 3656KB.

The download wes filetyped XML but has a /pdf name. But re-typing to pdf it
worked properly.

So yes, it works fine.
