Morning, Alan.

I’m currently working through a series of reports which _will_ need to be 
examined by an auditor, and have been refining the reports’ configuration 
settings as I go.

To ensure that I’ve converted all the HTML files to PDF, I’ve written the shell 
script below which may be helpful to other Mac users as it stands, or for other 
OSes with appropriate modification.

Regards,

Michael

# Convert all .html files in current directory to .pdf files in subdirectory 
./pdf (created if necessary)
#
# Requires “htmldoc” - see https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/htmldoc
#
# First make a directory for the converted files (the -p means it will create 
the whole path if necessary)
mkdir -p ./pdf
# Now loop through all .html files and convert to pdf
for f in *.html
do # Note that $f has to be enclosed in quotation marks, to cope with spaces in 
filenames.
        txt=${f%.*}
        htmldoc --charset utf-8 --webpage --header ... -f  ./pdf/"$txt".pdf "$f"
done
#
# Alternatively, the following command con be run from the command-line:
#
# mkdir -p ./pdf ;for f in *.html;do txt=${f%.*}; htmldoc --charset utf-8 
--webpage --header ... -f  ./pdf/"$txt".pdf "$f" ;done
