thought this was easy, but it turns out to be not so obvious.
My problem:
I have a database with hour registration. I need to print out about
hundreds of pages and have them signed by employees. Of course I want
to
do this automatically. Up to now I have a collection of html pages (got
them using wget). So the final thing I want is to print them all out in
one go.
How to do that?
I search for a command-line option to convert the html to pdf. Or have
firefox/konqueror print them directly without user intervention (there
is not a switch like "firefox --print <url>"). Note that the
pages are
off-line, not on the server. The original pages can only retrieved with
after authorization. That's why I used wget with a saved session cookie.
Anyone got an simple solution?
Thanks,
Theo
Try
HTMLDOC We have used it for
one of our
customers and it seems to do a fine job of converting HTML to PDF. I
haven't used it outside of our product except for some simle tests. It
seemed to do fine with those tests.

I tried it, without any success. It's basically a single HTML table on
a single page. The pdf that comes out is 8 pages and even then the
actual figures (hours) that I need don't fit on the page. I tried
removing the css. The HTML is now really compact but still no
conversion to pdf. The table does contain some hyperlink that use
_javascript_. Should not give any problem when printing.
I think I generate my own ASCII txt documents from the database and
have them printed out by without any formatting......
Thanks for the tip!
Theo
