Question
Hi James. I have downloaded a website template (http://www.themesets.net/products/more2.asp?tempid=915&sesid=874463467 ) and want to convert it to a pdf file to be used as a basic product catalog for distribution by email and on disc. Is this possible ? I am using Acrobat 9 and the rest of CS4. Best regards and thanks in advance!!

Answer
Paul,

This is a HTML & PDF question and not related to InDesign therefore it is out of my area. I will try your to help, but you really should contact another department.

1. If you are using this in any way with InDesign that is wrong since it won't work.
2. Don't create a PDF, just create the entire website and make sure that all of the images are located in the same directory as the .html and css files. Then put the folder on a CD and you should be fine.
3. If you are emailing this, just send a link to the live site.

I hope that helps
