Looking for Calc Macro: Batch convert of HTML files to PDF

Mavy · Guest

Hi

I am looking for a macro for automatically converting a list of html files (or Web pages) to PDF documents. The ideal would be to be able to insert a Hyperlink in OpenOffice Calc that point to these converted files.
Also, the macro would be able to save a list of select pages to HTML format and place them in the directory of my choixe (+ hyperlink in desired column on spreadsheet)

If this is not possible with a macro, is there any utility of program available out there?

Thanks.

Here are some examples of document conversion using a macro.

It should be possible to convert HTML to PDF. Open the HTML file into Writer (not Web), then export to PDF. You must specify the Html to Writer filter for the import and not rely on automatic TypeDetection. If you rely on TypeDetection, then the html file will be opened into Web, which has limited export capabilities.

I wrote a batch document converter
