Is this possible?
Does anybody have an example.

Can you explain what you mean by "automate" - are you looking to convert a list of URLs in sequence, or have Acrobat triggered from within a web browser, or reacting to a hyperlink?

Many thanks for your response.
My aim is to have a background application that polls a database for a particular condition. When this condition is true I need to create a PDF file containing the contents of a particular web page (only one).
e.g when I mark a contract available for viewing (my suppliers view their contracts via the web, no physical documents are involved), I want an archived version of it (in PDF format) at the time I released it. This way I have a history of contracts as they are issued and changed.
Ideally I would like the background app to be vb or vb.net (as these are my main development tools) but at the end of the day I'm not bothered as long as I can schedule it to run periodically during the day.
I have tested the web2PDF functionality interactively and it works fine with my application but I need to have it run without user intervention on a deditcated windows PC
