FlashGot firefox addon might help...have you tried it?

edit:
I don't know your specific needs...wget might be the best, but here's another firefox addon that might also help for pdf's https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636

try Applications >> Add/Remove >> Search for WebHTTrack Website Copier

I played with it very long ago, and seemed to do something like what you are looking for. Takes aages though, depending on the site.

For future reference: wget -r <website-name> will also do the trick.

I think wget -r would have taken a while in comparison to using flashgot and googleing "+ building filetype:pdf site:southampton.gov.uk." The later might be a little more manual, but you don't always know what you're getting into when using wget...

either way, glad your problem was solved! Cheers!
