Also, there are some extensions for Firefox that will run scripts. Maybe you could setup Firefox to pull up the page and save it to PDF. A script run from cron could then poll for new files to mail out. PrefBar is the extension I can think of off the top of my head. Not available from the Firefox website, but still worth looking into. Is there a command line option to Firefox to save a URL to PDF? ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.CiscoLearning.org/ # Join the League of Professional System Administrators! https://LOPSA.org/ # C'est la Net - der.hans
