Is there a tutorial for printing web pages to PDF with clickable links?
When we download programs from the Internet on the Windows XP PC, we often
archive the landing page of the software download feature set so as to have
a reference point for each download for the future.
We could archive that software home page by saving HTML and then convert
the HTML to pdf somehow; but that generally creates a multi-file mess in
our downloads hierarchy. Printing to a single PDF with embedded top-level
clickable links seems so much more straightforward, if it can be done.
We can post-process add the missing top-level links manually using Adobe
Acrobat Standard software; but how does one automatically embed top-level
hypertext links when printing a web page to PDF on Windows XP?
Googling for web page to PDF printing on WinXP, I find the following
potential software solutions:
- Adobe Acrobat http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/pdf.html
- PrimoPDF version 2.0 http://www.primopdf.com
- CutePDF version 2.5 http://www.cutepdf.com
- eDocPrinter PDF Pro version 6.18 http://www.iteksoft.com
- VirtualPDF Printer version 1.01 http://www.go2pdf.com/products.html
- PDF995 version 7.55s http://www.pdf995.com
- PDF Online version http://www.gohtm.com
- ActivePDF version 4.0 http://www.activepdf.com
- FinePrint pdfFactory version 2.46 http://www.fineprint.com
etc.
Is there a simple tutorial out there that you know of which shows how to
use a PDF printing program to print a web landing page to a single pdf file
containing embedded top-level clickable hypertext links?
