I often download technical articles purchased or even free from online journals. Until lnow they were always pdf files and I had no trouble opening them and working with them in Acrobat 7. But I now see that the ones I am running into now purport to be pdf files but when I download and save them they are apparently html files. Or mht files. Is there a way to save these orconvert them to pdf files?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 7.1.4, Windows

Yes. Copy the URL for the web page you want to save as a PDF. Then in Acrobat 7, go to File>Create PDF>From Web Page. Paste the URL in the Create PDF from Web Page dialog box, then click the Create button on the bottom.

I forgot that! (One particular article threw me off because it said"Click here for a PDF copy" but it gave me a mht file instead; can't use my Acrobat add-ons!)
