Hello Brianc,

As per the description above, you want to convert HTML/web pages to PDF file, Is that correct?

You can use Acrobat Pro to convert HTML to PDF files, for detailed information, please refer to the following KB article Converting web pages to PDF, Adobe Acrobat

For plan and pricing of Acrobat, please refer to Plans and pricing | Adobe Acrobat DC

Feel free to update this discussion for any further assistance.

Regards,

Anand Sri.

I know it's been a few years since you made this post, but I have tried to follow the article and it doesn't work. Either the pdf is one page and completely blank or it comes up jumbled. That's if I am lucky to get anything at all. No pictures or format or anything. Please advise.

Which version of Acrobat? What menu items did you use?

[Librarian SJW]

It says Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 32 bit. 

I've tried all sorts of menu options. I have tried the chrome exenstenion. I tried the "Create" - "webpage to pdf" option in the program itself. I tried to use the html file saved to my desktop as well as links. None of them worked. I am to the point I might have to buy some other program.

Some web pages just don't convert well. Is it a URL you can share?

https://stjohns.digication.com/watt-eportfolio/home It's an e-portfolio that I made for my MLIS degree. The website is going to basically hold it hostage in a year or so (if I don't pay), so I wanted a PDF copy that looked remotely similar to it that I could display or even show potential employers.

Thanks. This site uses modern HTML technologies like separately scrollable areas, which can't even exist in PDF. So I hold out very little hope you can get a good interactive conversion (though you can print separate pages to PDF).   I believe there is such a thing as a web site archiver which would visit the site and get copies of all the HTML and picture files, but I have no experience of these.

Could I get something if I didn't want to scroll? I just want maybe the links to work. But the abosulete min is that I just want an extact picture copy so to speak. I just want someone to see the organization of it (and maybe, in a different or pdf file, add the others after it. Does this make sense?
