Creating Adobe PDF files from downloaded web pages
An Adobe PDF file created from HTML pages is like any other PDF file. You can
download and convert web pages by specifying a URL, by opening web pages from a link
in an Adobe PDF file, and by dragging and dropping a web link or HTML file onto an
Acrobat window icon.The web pages are converted to PDF and opened in the document
pane. You can navigate through the file and add comments and other enhancements to it.
Any links on the pages are still active in the PDF file--just click a link to download and
convert the linked web pages, and add them to the end of the PDF file.
Note the following when converting web pages:
● Before converting a web page to an Adobe PDF file, be sure that you can access the
Internet.
● You can download HTML pages, JPEG and GIF images (including the last frame of
animated GIF images), text files, and image maps.
● One web page may correspond to more than one PDF page because long HTML pages are
divided into standard-size pages (depending on the PDF page layout settings).
● HTML pages can include tables, links, frames, background colors, text colors, and forms.
Cascading stylesheets and Macromedia® Flash™ are supported. HTML links turn into
links, and HTML forms turn into PDF forms.
● The default/index.html frame downloads only once.
● You can determine whether to reference digital media components by URL, not include
them, or embed the files where possible. (See Setting display options for converted HTML
pages.)
● Depending on the options selected when downloading and converting web pages, an
Adobe PDF file created from web pages can display special tagged bookmarks that retain
web information, such as the URLs for all links on the pages. Use these tagged bookmarks
to navigate, reorganize, add, or delete pages in your PDF file. You can also add more
tagged bookmarks to represent paragraphs, images, table cells, and other items on the
pages. For information on using these tagged bookmarks, see Extracting, moving, and
copying pages and Deleting and replacing pages.
● To convert Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language web pages to PDF on a roman
(Western) system in Windows, you must have installed the CJK language support files
while installing Acrobat. (Also, it is preferable to select an appropriate encoding from the
HTML conversion settings.) (See About Asian-language Adobe PDF files.)
Note: In Windows, if you try to open a PDF file that uses double-byte fonts and you don't
have the necessary fonts installed, Acrobat asks if you want to install the necessary fonts
kit.
