Does anyone know of a way of making PDFs from a sequence of URLS/multiple URLs for webpages? For example, I want to print individual PDFs from a batch of webpages via their URLs. Is there an alternative to using html2ps and ps2pdf (batch convert htm files to pdf)? How can I take a list of URLs and convert them to individual PDF files?

Use wkhtmltopdf

It's a webkit based web client that outputs to PDF. Being webkit based, it's somewhat modern (though hasn't been updated in a bit), and has CSS support.

First write all your URL's in a .htm file on your computer.

in Acrobat Pro (v9) :

  1. Menu file > Create PDF > From Web Page… => Opens the 'Create PDF' window
  2. Enter the URL = http/... or in your case browse to the html file you created
  3. Click 'Capture Multiple Levels' > Get only = 2 levels
  4. Click 'Settings…" to adjust the page size, margins, etc
  5. Click 'Create' and wait while Acrobat constructs the file

Weeny is one option. It's a freeware application available at

https://www.weenysoft.com/free-html-to-pdf-converter.html

I've used this to successfully to convert 3000 URLs to PDF.

A bit late to the party, but there's an API for this as well as a copy/paste online window for URLs to PDF - you can find it at https://pdfmyurl.com/batch-web-to-pdf-api and https://pdfmyurl.com/entire-website-to-pdf-advanced

Disclosure - I work for the company that owns this website

If you want a contiguous PDF as a human user would create it by browsing over a website, check with webshot.website. Their free trial is already sufficient in many cases, and if not it is still cheap to get an advanced one.

  • Can you provide a bit more information about this? And can you provide a reference that this is a reputable service? McAfee doesn’t know whether it is safe.
