PDF Option??

Web Programming257
In my pursuit of a technique to create a Professional Marketing Email, one

suggestion was to turn the webpage into a PDF and then put it on my website

as a webpage or simply embed it into the email.



My problem is that I frequently use the "LAYER" feature on the insert menu

in FrontPage and that feature does not seem to lend itself to 100% stability

as it

is viewed on some monitors, particular if using NETSCAPE.



This idea of turning a website page into a PDF sound like an interesting

solution.

However, after I open up FrontPage and am staring at the page I'd like to

turn into

a PDF, can anyone tell me how to do that? I have the PDF program on my

computer, but I don't know how to access it for the purpose mentioned. ALSO,

does anyone have any similar ideas as to how turn a webpage into a PDF like

document in order to assure stability when viewing it in a variety of

monitors using

various browsers? Thanks.

Re:PDF Option??

To create a PDF - you need something like

You probably have the reader - most people install that because a lot of

documents are PDF.



Frontpage creates divides (layers) and usually will position them absolutely

and then expect browsers (especially MSIE) to read the code properly when it

does not even put in a DOCTYPE so IE is in quirksmode.



For a forum that offers some great ideas in coding - www.iwdn.net



PDFs will make some things simpler, but I would not rely on it
