How can you 'Combine files into pdf' using HTML pages and get Acrobat to exclude the headers & footers from each HTML page. OR is there a scripted way to create PDF file from a list of HTML pages but only use selected sections? I'd like to set up batch file to generate PDF's of text-heavy web content for client distribution (without hdr/footers being reproduced on every page). Batch file would enable pdf to be recreated whenever web info is updated. Any ideas?

I'm using Acrobat X. Header/Footer is part of web page content. I just want to pull in the content of the page - so exclude the banner/hdr. There are too many pages to do this manually. Redaction just blacks it out.

The Redaction tool has many options available. One can select the color (including no color) or cover text to use. One has a number of ways to identify the material to redact. You can even identify the area to redact and use JavaScript to mark that area on every page and apply redaction to the marked areas for the entire document.

All good points but they refer to header/footer of printed page, not the coded web page. For instance, go to http://www.latimes.com/ main page. I'm referring to the header - "Los Angeles Times" with the date and menu underneath. The footer is the "Los Angeles Times" with links to all the smaller newspapers at the bottom of the web page. I want to exclude this information from the pdf when it's created. What I'm asking is, is there a way to extract the content between the header and the footer automatically using Acrobat - through scripting or some other method? Another simplistic example: you have HTML5 pages coded up as . Is there some way to direct Acrobat X to exclude from all pages therefore just leaving the which is the main content. Hope that explains it better... ; )

LOL, post blanks carets round code so the line should read: HTML5 pages coded up as "header" "article" "footer" ... and therefore just leaving the "article" which is the main content. Sorry!

Have you read Thom Parker's tutorial about using JavaScript to redact data?

Search for "Convert part of a web page to PDF" on this page :http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7f60.w.php
It was made for you.

After the fact, use the Redaction tool. This is a multi-step process so make sure you complete all the actions.
