Question

Covert Multiple Web Pages to PDF

* Using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (Continuous Release | version 2019.010.20099) on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system. It is part of my subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud.

I'm familiar with the File -> Create -> PDF from Web Page function and have done this procedure many times. What I need is to execute this procedure for 30 different web pages to create 30 different PDF files. These are sales district reports and the linked pages on each are for the individual representatives in each of these sales districts. It's a fairly simple, 2-level web page conversion - nothing really complicated with these pages.

Currently, I'm have to manually select each district page and then generate that PDF page set. It would be very helpful if I could do this in a batch process for all 30 web pages. I've investigated doing this with Action Wizard. I've set up an action with a "Files to be Processed" list of these 30 files and the default option of, "From Web Page...". The action runs but instead of diving into the website to add the linked pages, it only processes the 30 files listed without including any linked pages. What am I missing to get the action to include the linked pages as it does when the "PDF from Web Page" procedure is manually executed from the File -> Create menu? I can't seem to find any additional options to add to the action list or select from the "Files to be Processed" action to make this happen.

Thanks for any help!

I have a similar need. I have HTML files on my hard drive, and would like to batch create separate PDFs for each of them at 2 levels deep. I tried adding all my HTML files via the Create Multiple PDF Files... command, but unfortunately, I have found no way to specify 2 levels. So, all I get is single pages, with none of the linked content included.

I may need to do this for hundreds of HTML files, and if there were a way to let modest batches of them run in the background, that would be an incredible time savings.

Is there anyone who could help us, please?
