Specifying conversion settings for capturing web pages
You can specify conversion settings for each type of file to be downloaded. These options
apply to web pages to be converted to PDF, not to pages already converted. You can use
the Preferences dialog box to restore the original options.
To open the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box:
1. Do one of the following:
● Choose File > Create PDF > From Web Page, or choose From Web Page from the Create
PDF menu on the toolbar.
● Click the Create PDF From Web Page button on the toolbar.
● Choose Advanced > Web Capture > Append Web Page.
2. Click Settings.
To set general conversion settings:
1. In the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box, click the General tab.
2. For File Type Settings, select the file type to be downloaded. If you select HTML or Plain
Text as the file type, you can control the font properties and other display characteristics.
(See Setting display options for converted HTML pages and Setting display options for
converted text files.)
3. Select any of the following:
● Create Bookmarks to create a tagged bookmark for each converted web page, using the
page's title (from the HTML Title element) as the bookmark name. If the page has no title,
the URL is used as the bookmark name.
● Create PDF Tags to store a structure in the PDF file that corresponds to the HTML
structure of the original web pages. If this option is selected, you can create tagged
bookmarks for paragraphs, list elements, table cells, and other items that use HTML
elements.
● Place Headers & Footers On New Pages to place a header and footer on every page. The
header shows the web page's title, and the footer shows the page's URL, the page number
in the downloaded set, and the date and time of the download.
● Save Refresh Commands to save a list of all URLs and remember how they were
downloaded in the PDF file for the purpose of refreshing (updating) pages. This option
must be selected before you can update a PDF-converted website.
To set page layout conversion settings:
1. In the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box, click the Page Layout tab.
2. Select a page size, or enter a width and height in the boxes below the Page Size menu.
3. Specify orientation and margins.
4. Select the scaling options, and then click OK.
● Scale Wide Contents To Fit Page (Windows) or Scale Contents To Fit Page (Mac OS)
rescales a page's contents, if necessary, to fit the width of the page. If this option is not
selected, the paper size adjusts to fit the page's contents if necessary.
● Switch To Landscape If Scaled Smaller Than changes the orientation of the page from
portrait to landscape if the contents of a page are scaled beyond a specified percentage. If
the new version is less than 70% (the default setting) of the original size, the display
switches to landscape. This option is available only if you selected portrait orientation.
