Software to convert html files?

Sep 19, 2007 3:14PM PDT

Hi,

I?d like a software able to convert html files to pdf, chm, prefereably, since I need to see the images too.

I tried someones but none of them works, all fails in some way, so if you would tell me several ones, to try them all, that would be great

Thanks in advance for your help and greetins

these are the bugs
Oct 3, 2007 10:14PM PDT

sorry for being late, I didn?t notice the answer
just now I?m using verypdf, and have some flaws, the most significant is that sometimes when in the html files there are png images, not all the pages are converted just a few, I checked that deleting those images, I can convert it all, but this not always happen, just with some png images

Other things is to add in these programs shtml support, because there are many webs with this extension and it will be more in the future, so it?s very convenient to add

Also when I read the pdf sometimes the text doesn?t fit all the screen of the program (I use foxit reader) and I have to scroll right to see the text.....again this not always happen
And the thing use to happen to me always is that when I scroll down the pdf, I can?t do it with the mouse when it comes a new page, I have to move it with the arrow to go to from the page 1 to the page 2 for example

And other bug, maybe the most important is that the links most of the times, are not inserted, so you see the text in blue, but not the content, so you lost valuable information since all websites use to reference others once in a while

That will be the bugs I seen......and don?t know it could be a software correcting these errors, specially the last one

shtml can be fixed.

Save the page locally so you can convert it later.

As to fitting to the page width. In foxit I need only to click the zoom level...

As to PNGs. Never found that to fail. I wonder if it's something with shtml. Or I ran across a machine that couldn't render PNG. That was an entirely different issue.
