[Hidden-tech] Another Mac question

[Jan Werner]

You can probably do everything you want in Acrobat, but you need to 
learn the basics of how to use it. The Acrobat help system is thorough, 
but it is often hard to find what you want. However, there are plenty of 
books on Acrobat, so you should be able to find one that suits you.

I use Acrobat 6.0 Pro on a Windows PC, so the menus may well be 
different on your version, but the capabilities are certainly there.

In my case, web page capture is under Advanced\Web Capture. There are 
many options, and you can capture a complete web site, or even a linked 
set of pages across multiple web sites into a single pdf document.

If you capture a web page in Acrobat, you will be better able to edit it 
than if you print to pdf, which will often give you an image rather than 
a structured pdf file. You can crop any pdf file using the crop tool, 
which in my version is under Tools/Advanced Editing.

Hope this helps.
