Is it possible to convert html file tO Pdf with autoit ?

are there available functions for autoit ?

Thanks !

I'm pretty sure you can do that whith gs(ghostscript). Don't ask me how.

I would rather use PDFCreator or PaperlessPrinter (I think they use gs as a backend). Those tools are just virtual printers that can convert every printable "thing" into pdf(image,...)-format. If you want to do that with autoit, I would suggest you search the web how you could do that with these trio.

SciTE has an option to export to PDF, and if it's autoit code, it will keep it's color syntax.

Have you tried searching on google?

I have and I found this:

I suggest picking up the

Google Hacks Book (O'Reilly)

isbn 0-596-00857-0

Or you could pay $99 to get the Adobe SDK, and really put AutoIt to work to convert an HTML document to PDF.

I like to use one of the free PDF printers to convert any doc to PDF. I use PrimoPDF myself.

Hi,

This has been discussed;

PDF document, PDF

@bluebearr, I think you discussed primo before; do you have an autoIt script to show?

Best, randall

No, I don't have a script. Basically would involve printing your document from the app of your choice (in this case, your web browser). I'm not sure much is to be gained by scripting it, unless you need to batch convert a number of documents.
