Converting an HTML File To A PDF File

Question

Maybe someone knows the answer?

I have a Hotmail email that I would like to save as a file and attach within a webpage for someone else to open so it seemed logical to right-click the email and 'Save Page As.'

1. Is saving an email as an HTML file the simplest way to do this?
2. I can open the HTML file but can an HTML file be opened universally or does it require a certain program/Internet connection/both of these?
3. Would converting the file to a PDF be simpler? I have Firefox (which I use to view PDFs) but have no idea how to convert from HTML to PDF.

Answer 1

If you would like to convert an HTML email to PDF, you can open the email in a print view (not sure what email client you're using, but if it's web-based, there's usually a printable version view), then hit Print and find the PDF option to save as a PDF. 

If you want to send the HTML file, they are readable in any browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome etc.

Answer 2

Conversion is normally done by printing it.

There a few programs available that install an extra printer on the system. Because most items on screen can be printed to paper you just change the destination in the print dialogue, some give a few options to choose then you set a filename and destination. The "printer" then creates a PDF.

CutePDF, Bullzip and PrimoPDF are 3 examples.

Thank you for your quick response and for the suggestion to open the email in Hotmail 'Print View' and save it as a PDF since that is what I wanted to do.
