Creating PDFs

Change web page conversion options
The settings for converting web pages to PDF apply to the conversion process. The settings changes do not affect
existing PDFs.
1 Do one of the following:
• From Internet Explorer or Firefox, in the Adobe PDF toolbar, choose Convert > Preferences.
• From Acrobat, choose File > Create > PDF from Web Page, and then click Settings.
2 On the General tab, select options under Conversion Settings and PDF Settings, as needed. Click the Settings button
to see additional options for the selected File Type.
3 On the Page Layout tab, select options for page size, orientation, and scaling, as needed.
Web page conversion options
The Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box is available from within Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Acrobat.
General tab
Conversion Settings Specifies the conversion settings for HTML and Text. Choose a file type and click Settings to
select the font properties and other characteristics.
Create Bookmarks Creates a tagged bookmark for each converted web page using the page title (HTML Title element)
as the bookmark name. If the page has no title, the URL is used as the bookmark name.
Create PDF Tags Stores a structure in the PDF that corresponds to the HTML structure of the web pages. This
structure lets you create tagged bookmarks for paragraphs, list elements, and other items that use HTML elements.
Place Headers And Footers On New Page Places a header and footer on every page. Headers show the web page title,
or if no title is available, the web page URL or file path. Footers show the web page URL or file path, and the date and
time of the download.
Page Layout tab
The Page Layout options specify a selection of page sizes and options for width, height, margin measurements, and
page orientation.
The Scaling options are as follows:
Scale Wide Contents To Fit Page Rescales the contents of a page, if necessary, to fit the width of the page. If this option
is not selected, the paper size adjusts to fit the contents of the page, if necessary.
Switch To Landscape If Scaled Smaller Than Changes the page orientation to landscape if the new version of a page is
less than the specified percentage of the original size. Available only if you selected portrait orientation.
HTML Conversion Settings
This dialog box opens when you select HTML on the General tab of the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box and
then click the Settings button.
Default Encoding Lets you specify the following options:
• Default Encoding Sets the input encoding of the file text from a menu of operating systems and alphabets.
• Always Ignores any encoding that is specified in the HTML source file and uses the selection shown in the Default
Encoding option.
