HTML 2 PDF.

Clark Hayden — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 07:02:02 GMT

Hi.

In my last thread I mentioned that I need to convert HTML files to PDF and I was pointed to HTMLDOC which, after much struggle, I managed to get to work only to find out that it does not support CSS.

There is a version 1.9 out that does support CSS but I cannot find a VMS conversion out there. Has anybody done a conversion of HTMLDOC 1.9 to Open VMS? If not, do you know of anyway to be able to convert HTML (containing CSS and JPEGS) to a PDF format?

Thanks.
Hayden.

Hi Hayden

According to the website (http://www.xhtml2pdf.com/) supports CSS. There is a verion of that on the python distribution for OpenVMS (http://www.vmspython.org/), however I don't know how well it works - it seems to work.

cheers
