Does anyone know of a quick/cheap way to convert HTML docs to pdf`s? I am currently bringing screenshots into Illustrator, editing and exporting to pdf. This time-consuming and I`m not crazy about the results.

Also, how can I create a PDF doc that creates additional oages for longer documents. I`m using an old version of Illustrator (8.0) and to my knowledge, it won`t allow you to do this.

I`m trying to provide printable instructions - maybe there is even a better way to do this?

I would appreciate any suggestions!

yep see if you can print to a pdf. Just like you were going to print the document I think it`s adobe 995 or something like that.

You need a piece of software called a "PostScript printer driver".  When you install it on your computer, you can print any file directly to a PDF, the same way you would print to an actual paper printer.

PDF995 that Todd mentioned above is a good one!

50% of computer programming is trial and error. The other 50% is copy and paste.

Thank you both soooo much!! I downloaded pdf995 and it worked great! This will save me so much time, it`s ridiculous.

I`m off to replace my very lame (and large) pdf file with the new one now!

Thanks again. It`s so great to have a place to come for help when you need it. Even these little things seem like huge problems when you`re clueless .

Good link, Todd - I`ll definitely check that out. I usually use PDF online to convert a lot of stuff.

Just posting another option.

Thanks Christina - good to know!

BTW, I read your post about the being a `big sister`! I didn`t have a recipe  but I wanted to let you know how admirable I think that is. Please let us know how it goes with your `little sis`!!

Just get a Mac ... you can do that without any additional software. 

I use PDF995 as well. It`s the only PDF creation software I have come across that keeps the web links `live` within the finished PDF document.

Nikole, y`mean if I go to McDonald`s, they`ll print my PDF files?

Thanks Melissa! I haven`t yet met her. I actually haven`t heard from them since they first called to tell me they had a potential match for me. So I`m kind of ready to get on the move, and might call this week to prod them a bit
