Converting MHTML file to PDF

[Gustavus]

The title is suggestive of my problem, but not a complete description.

Real Software used to have a PDF form of the Language Reference manual for Realbasic on their site, but now the manual is in the form of three MHTML folders -- 200 pages, 200 pages and 175 pages respectively. You can download the folders as 431. 434 and 435 KB files. These open in Internet Explorer (I am running Windows XP) with hyperlinks to the terms in the language. I would like to convert the folders to PDF format since that would be a more convenient form in many cases. There are several softwares -- like PDF Creator and Bullzip -- that can convert, by printing, the page you are viewing. But so far I can find no way of converting an entire folder from MHTML to PDF. Converting 575 pages, one page at a time is too tedious to be reasonable.

Do any of you know of a software I could use to convert the folders to PDF?

Thanks for your help.

Install something like CutePDF, then try right-clicking multiple files and selecting Print. You can also open the CutePDF printer (in the printer control panel) and try dragging multiple files into that window.

While this may allow you to batch print multiple files, you may wish to combine them into a single PDF file afterward. For that a different tool might be used like this one:

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply gsaldivar.

Unfortunately CutePDF does the same thing CreatePDF and Bullzip do; converts the one page Internet Explorer has open of the document to a PDF file -- not the whole document, For example one of the folders is 431KB in size. If I open it on screen and print using any of the three softwares, only the page I am viewing is converted. There are 575 pages in the complete document and I am 80 years old so I don't think I can get all of them converted in the time I have left.

The different strategy might be to get those documents converted to a more standard html format first. You can try a utility like this:

Feel free to send me a PM maybe I can assist directly this evening. Thanks

Thanks again. I downloaded and installed the software, but when I add any of the three MHTML files to it's work area and tell it to convert it shows "error" -- with no explanation of what the error is.
