Converting Web Pages to Adobe
PDF
You can download Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages from the World Wide Web
or an intranet in Acrobat and convert them to Adobe PDF. You provide the address, or
Uniform Resource Locator (URL), of the Web pages, and Acrobat converts and opens the
pages in one step.
About Adobe PDF documents created from Web pages
In most respects, an Adobe PDF document created from HTML Web pages is like any other
PDF document. You can navigate through the document and add comments and other
enhancements to it. Any Weblinks on the pages are still active in PDF—just click a link to
download the link’s pages, and add them to the end of the document.
Depending on the options you select when downloading Web pages, an Adobe PDF
document created from Web pages can display special tagged bookmarks that retain Web
information, such as the URLs for all links on the pages. You can use these tagged
bookmarks to navigate, to reorganize or delete pages, and to download more pages. You
can also add more tagged bookmarks to represent paragraphs, images, table cells, and
other items on the pages.
Note that one “Web page” may correspond to more than one PDF page. This is because
Acrobat divides long HTML pages into standard-size pages (depending on the PDF page
layout settings).

the information you need.

number in the text boxes.
In Windows, if you do not configure your Internet settings using the Internet Settings
preferences, Internet Explorer must be installed and the Internet Properties dialog box
configured to allow access to the World Wide Web. (In an enterprise environment, you are
likely to have to configure your proxy server.) Once Internet Explorer has been installed
