.info files are the result of processing .texi source files. It is the
.texi files that texi2html etc. process, not the .info output.

Do you have the Octave sources installed on your machine? If so, go to
the top level source directory and type

make doc

(you may need to run configure first, if you haven't yet done so).

This will create the manual in html form (look in the doc/interpreter
directory). It will also create a .dvi which can easily be converted to
.pdf using the dvipdf utility.
