PDF Files

[bandit]

I've been working on a website for my aunts neck pillows (KushNeck). I made an order form out of HTML for people to print out if they want to pay via money order or personal check. But I decided it was easier if people downloaded the pdf file and printed it out from there. Whats a good program to convert HTML files to pdf? Is it even possible?

I think Adobe Acrobat/Acrobat Reader can do that (I may be wrong).

You need the full version of Acrobat to do that. Reader can't create pdf's, only view them.

[Rumpy]

So close.

Yea..I have Reader 6.0 and I tried it. Unsuccessful.

Anyone know a 3rd party freeware that is good? At Adobe's site, you can either pay $9.99 a month/$99.99 a year or try it for free. But you only get 5.

Yea, I do... but I forgot the name.

Wait. It might be this one:

Adobe Distiller is used to create PDFs.

OpenOffice can export as PDF. Not exactly sure if said exporting is up to spec, but I know it can do it.

yeah the problem is getting the HTML into the PDF. The best program for creating PDFs is to first make a postscript of the file (you can do this under print setup) and then distilling (Adobe Distiller) that postscript into a PDF.

How complex is the order form? I mean just recreate it in Word and then you can save automatically as a PDF...or you could use an Adobe Design program, save directly as a PDF or postscript to PDF it. Or (and this would be a much bigger file) you could do it in Photoshop and save as a photoshop PDF for Web.

I guess if there is no way of transfering that html page into pdf, I guess I'll have to redo it on Excel.
