Hi Everyone,
I have a CD ROM full of anatomy dissections in HTML format that I want to convert to PDF. The only caviat is that I have been converting them page by page by going to "Print" and then scaling down so that the content fit in one page. I then save as PDF and presto. I was wondering if there was a way of automating this process. The scaling always varies between 80% to 95% of the original document size. Any help will be much appreciated. The finished product is OCR'ed so that text searches are possible. The end product is a valuable piece of study material for medical students like me that need to save as much time as possible when paging through volumes of information to find the needed information.

Regards,

Em

While it sounds like you might be violating a few copyright laws here..(wink) -- LOL --> whatever (I was a medical Illustrator!)Okay, seriously - While I am uncertain as to how it is that the text in the HTML somehow gets converted to an image (are you 'printing' to raster - why ?) - the HTML text should be "printed" as text (so you do not need to mess around with OCR)

If you have Acrobat Pro - you should be able to simply go under the File menu, then select "Create PDF" --> From File...then navigate to your HTML file and click over open...hope this helps.
