Does anyone know of a way to export from dreamweaver an html file, with all background colors and links, to a pdf? When you export from Indesign with weblinks, they carry over into the pdf, so is there a solution to go from dreamweaver html to adobe pdf?

The best way I have found is to open Acrobat Pro, then choose FILE/CREATE/PDF FROM WEB PAGE...

This will allow you to either enter a URL or, as I use it, browse to the .html file on your HDD and create a PDF from it. Only HTML5 specific CSS styling is ignored, so the page should look almost identical to how it does in Dreamweaver.

All other techniques remove page stylings and never seem to keep the page intact.

Hope this helps.

    Dreamweaver has no built in PDf functionality. If you have the Creative Suite (or Acrobat Pro, not just the reader), then simply open the file in a browser and "print" to PDF.  The liniks should be "auto-linked" and clickable within the PDF. You'll need to set your browser to print background colors and background images. On Firefox you can do this File -> Page Setup.
