wikipedia explanation of RSS

for your use. ;)

and for the lazy...

The RSS formats provide web content or summaries of web content together with links to the full versions of the content, and other meta-data. This information is delivered as an XML file called RSS feed, webfeed, RSS stream, or RSS channel. In addition to facilitating syndication, RSS allows a website's frequent readers to track updates on the site using a news aggregator.

so . . . application of this? I have rss feeds of some gumtree lets in London, and maybe some news sources. Will it make a PDF of only the rss info, or of the articles the rss feeds references as well?

just the rss.
You can test converting the archinect rss feed http://www.archinect.com/news.xml (its the link beside the news buttonm in the fornt page).
Or the bbc news: http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml

Another use could be to print out the latest koolhaas photos from flickr http://flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=koolhaas&format=atom_03

or just add any tag to the previous url for that matter.

Just to make it clear, you need to paste any of the previous urls into the pdf maker form, not click on them from here.
