Rod,
Just wondering if someone might be able to help me out. I have an
archive of web pages that form an online manual. All in all,
there are about 380 different HTML pages. Is there anyone that
can make an automator workflow that will convert each of these
pages into a pdf, then combine the pdf into one?
Just to digress a little (and I know b****r all about Automator),
there is an excellent product called HelpLogic which allows you to
develop HTML help systems and deploy it as Apple Help, Microsoft
Help, Web-based help, UniHelp (their own product), and - soon to
come - PDF and Printed. This may or may not be useful to you (you
may be able to bulk import your HTML), but I am starting to use it
to deploy a "text book" which I am working on, and it' s looking
promising.
Since we are digressing. Acrobat creates this type of document from
a Web Page (links etc..), that is of course if one has this product?
Or you can use the converter already in the system
ie to convert X.html to X.pdf do:
/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert -f X.html -o X.pdf
Now, to turn that into an Automator workflow :)
Have fun,
Shay
