Using FP 2003

I would like to enable users to print my entire site (which happens to be a
newsletter).
Is there any way to easily convert the site to a PDF document or somehow
create a printable version of the site?

The site is organized by pages (just like a hard copy newsletter would be).

Thanks!

DB... I would think that it would be easy enouth to just put a link to
either a .txt file or .pdf file that contains the pages in printable format.
then just place that file on your site.

In fact what is real cool, and I did it on a webpage that
I did awhile ago.... was to post a link to all the past
issues of a union paper, by monthly issue...each issue
hot linked to a PDF File.... incredibly easy. Can do in
color or Black and white....Need Adobe Acrobat
(Distiller).... I ended up deleting mine for
awhile...haven't put them back on.... needed the space
for Strike photos....

You don't need Adobe Acrobat to generate pdfs
There are many lower cost PDF generators out there
Like
http://www.fineprint.com/index.html
or
http://www.cutepdf.com/
or

If you haveAcrobat (full product):

Create the content in word, then create PDF from word with Acrobat....then upload
that PDF to the site and
provide a link.

Note, not everyone is going to have the PDF reader, or be bothered downloading it
either.

Second option, provide a printable html page.

If you have Acrobat (full product), you can print to a file via the Acrobat
distlller from Frontpage (File, Print then choose 'Acrobat Distiller' rather than
your default printer), it should print to file and create the pdfs for you.

If you don't have Acrobat, I'm sure there are free pdf creators around on the
web, but I've found they often insert a link or watermark or something
representing the company producing the product - (which is what prompted me to
save up and get Adobe Acrobat 5.0) It is well worth it in the long run if you
can afford it.

Also you might try the online PDF creator tool at www.adobe.com - you get a trial
of creating 5 documents or something and then pay a fee per document or even for
a year to create more documents. I don't know if it creates PDFs from html pages
though.

Andrew,
This sounds promising.
However, how do you print the entire site into one PDF?
When I go into FrontPage, I can choose the print option and print to the
Acrobat Distiller but it only prints the single page I have open.
I do have a full copy of Acrobat but the only part I've installed and used
is the distiller.
So...in other words....I don't have a problem creating a PDF file but I do
have a problem creating a SINGLE PDF file that contains ALL of my web pages.
So far I can only figure out how to create a PDF with one page in it.

Regarding Word....yes I can create the document in word and convert it to a
PDF. But now I don't have HTML. I need both. And yes, I know that in
theory Word can somehow convert to html but....I'm already trying to do that
with MS Publisher and finding that some people are unable to view the web
site that publisher creates. So I'm not very confident that Word will create
html that's any better (since they are both Microsoft).

I feel like I'm going in circles. But thanks for the response, you've given
me a few more things to look at.

Any other ideas out there????

You can continue adding pages to a pdf file with Acrobat to do the whole
site.
Time to study the Acrobat help files. All the info is there.
