For those interested, here is a script for Smile which saves a web page into a searchable PDF.
set www to make new web window
set path name of www to "http://apple.com";
save www in "~/Desktop/apple-home-page.pdf"
IRL, there would be a waiting loop (until ready) like has been advised for Safari - just use Smile's "callJavaScript" command instead of Safari's "do Javascript".
