Lovely. From there one can easily find the code
if (lastArgument.EqualsIgnoreCase(postscript, PR_TRUE)) {
argument.Truncate(index);
rv = NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED;
}
Does it stem of lack of resources (read: laziness) or principle?

I sadly conclude that common wisdom has it that short of firing up a VFB, starting a browser of sorts and having it dump PS or graphic, there is no simple, command-line/scriptable solution to take HTML to PDF if Hebrew is required. Hope I got it right. Sigh. Anyone care to help push htmldoc over the edge?... Thanks again everyone.

Re: HTML to PDF
I asked this on the 27/7/2002 I want to convert html pages to jpg/gif images. The plane is more like: 1. print a Web page to file 2. convert ps to jpg or gif How can I print from console ( with color ) to file a web page ? Does any body have a better way then i wrote above ? --- Zvi Harel Wrote: Html2ps (http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps-1.0b3) will convert html2ps, together with graphics, and gs (ghostscript) will convert ps to ppm (using -sDEVICE=ppmraw; see man ppm(5) about the portable pixmap file format), ppmtogif or ppmtojpeg will convert ppm to gif or jpeg, resp. (in RedHat 7.3, the latter programs are in the netpbm-progs-9.24-3 package). Using this approach you can control much better the quality of your images, and you can automate it by writing shell scripts to do it. --- Yotam Rubin Wrote: You could do the following: Start a new X-server, possibly xvfb. Call mozilla, sleep 30, use imagemagick's import program to obtain a screenshot of the website, use imagemagick's convert program to do some processing on the newly acquired snapshot. It's crude, but it should work. --- Matan Ziv-Av Wrote: If you want a text representation of the page, the lynx -dump should do what you want. If you want graphics representation, then as far as I know there are no such tools, but links-2 has graphics mode with a modular output drivers architecture, so I guess that adding a graphics -dump mode should be easy. --- Dan Kenigsberg Wrote: For some reason I fail to use netscape -remote, but if it wasn't deprecated you could: netscape netscape -remote openURL(http://your.url) netscape -remote SaveAs(site.ps, PostScript) gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -dBATCH -sOutputFile=site.jpg site.ps I know people are doing similar things on top of a framebuffer X server, so everything can be done safely from a script. Disclaimer: never tried it myself. And the next one: It is extremely impolite to quote myself, and furthermore say almost the same, but for the sake of the archive, I have to state that the following works just fine (though long ps file should be broken, I suppose): $ Xvfb :1 $ DISPLAY=:1 netscape $ DISPLAY=:1 netscape -remote openURL(iglu.org.il) $ DISPLAY=:1 netscape -remote saveAs(iglu.ps,PostScript) $ gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=iglu.jpg iglu.ps Anyone have an idea why this nice -remote option was not ported completely into mozilla?

Hi Doron, Well, there is a sort-of solution. I used Konqueror to display the text, and then print the text into PDF.
