I own an ebook in html form from lybrary.com. That is, each page of the book is a separate file in a data folder. I'd like to convert the ebook into one pdf file. Is it possible? Can anyone give me help and advice as to what are the most convenient/inexpensive ways to do this? I'm working on a Mac OSX 10.2.8 platform.
Thanks very much, Jack

The easiest way to get my HTML ebooks in PDF is the following. First create a simple HTML file with a link to each and every page in the _data/html folder of the ebook. If you know how to use a scripting language you might want to create a little program to make this automatic. A good editor can help as well.
Then use Adobe to convert a website into PDF. Point to the file you created and set link depth to 2. It will follow each link which points to each page of the ebook and will convert it to PDF. The resulting PDF might not be the most beautiful one, but it does the job. Chris....

Actually, on a Mac, you can save a step. Follow Chris's first paragraph. Then open the document, and go to print it. When the print menu comes up there is an option at the bottom "save as a pdf" . Click on that.
OR If that won't work you can open up each page and cut and paste to one document then do "save as a pdf" option. This can be a huge pain in the a**, though, if it's a big document. Mark
