How to Convert WEB Pages to PDF Format

You can use Acrobat to download web pages from the Internet and convert them to PDF. You can define layout layouts, set display options for fonts and other visual components, and create bookmarks for web pages converted to PDF. Since the web pages you get are PDFs, you can easily save, distribute, and print them for sharing and future use. Acrobat allows you to convert remote, minimal-format files into native, fully-formatted FPD files that you can access at any time. Determine your Internet or proxy server settings. Before you intercept with the Internet, you must set up your Internet or proxy server to get you into the World Wide Web. Select File->Preferences->Internet Settings. Select one of the following: In Windows, click Connection in the InnerProperties dialog and provide the necessary information for your settings. Your system administrator or ISP will provide you with the information you need. On the Mac operating system, select UseanHTTPProxyServer and enter your proxy server URL and port number in the text window. In Windows, if you don't use Internet Settings to set up your Internet, you must install Internet Explorer and set it in the Internet Properties dialog box to gain access to the World Wide Web. In special cases, if you enter the network from a corporate environment through a firewall, the proxy server window in the connection version must have a valid proxy server address. Once Internet Explorer is installed and configured, you can use any browser as your default browser. If your version of Internet Explorer does not have a dialog for Internet Properties, you must update to the current version of Internet Explorer (available on the Microsoft web site). Setting options for converting web pages Before you download a web page, set options for capturing web pages. Here, you will set the options for structure and appearance for the web pages you get. 1. Select File->OpenWebPage. Note: If the OpenWebPage command is not displayed in the File menu, select File->Preferences->WebCapture and discard the ConsolidateMenuItems item in the top-level menu. When this option is selected, all instructions for web page interception appear under a separate web page menu. 2. Click Conversion Settings. 3. In the Conversion Settings dialog window, click General. 4. Under GeneralSettings for GeneratedPDF, select the following option: CreateBookmarkstoNewContent uses the HTML theme tag of the web page as a bookmark to create a framework bookmark for each downloaded page. Structured bookmarks help you organize and browse the web pages you intercept. AddPDFStructure stores the same structure as the HTML structure of the original page within the PDF file. PutHeadersandFootersonNewPage (Windows) or PutHeadersandFootersonNewContent (Mac OS) uses the subject of the web page as a header, uses the URL of the web page, the page number of the download file, and the date and time as the footer, and SaveRefreshCommands (Windows) or SaveUpdateCommands (Mac OS) is updated. Web pages store all URLs in a PDF file. How to convert a Microsoft Word document to a PDF file?
