How to Convert HTML to PDF
HTML and PDF are both considered universal formats. Web browsers and computers across all platforms can support them. Also, they are both easy to circulate and transmit by e-mailing or publishing online. Yet, while both are very similar, there are notable and important differences.
A simple case in point: you have online receipt and need a record of it, but cannot it print up at the moment.
In such a situation, you will definitely need a few features which a webpage or HTML format lacks. You cannot preserve the formatting in most cases, nor can you apply security restrictions such as passwords or permissions to protect your data.
Converting from HTML to PDF will allow you more options with your content, including security and saving options.
Here is how you can go from HTML to PDF by simply using Internet Explorer 8 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
To convert HTML files to PDF:
Have your Web page or HTML file opened in IE 8.
If you have Acrobat 9 Pro installed, you can simply click on the integrated IE Convert Toolbar button.
Choose your Preferences in the General and Page Layout sections first. Click on OK.
Then select Convert Web Page to PDF from the drop down menu.
You can then use the dialogue box that appears to save your PDF onto your computer.- Depending on your needs, you may find that your HTML content is, indeed, better off in a PDF file. Not only will it be viewable across all platforms exactly as you saved it, but you can also ensure that your information is secured.
