Re: [O] Org HTML-PDF publishing
Just for the record, I just downloaded Adobe Acrobat, and org-html-acrobat seems to be a viable workflow, and not as expensive as Prince. However, Acrobat, as far as I'm concerned, doesn't provide any way to automate the process - you have to open it and edit it manually in order to polish the typography and add additional graphical elements, but seems to be a great alternative.

Re: [O] Org HTML-PDF publishing
Thank you for the suggestion guys. It looks as if most of the free solutions don't produce a very good output. Prince does look very good, but it's way too much expensive. I think using org and exporting to both HTML and learning just enough LaTeX in order to export a well formatted output with a nice typography is what I'm going to do. Geez, orgmode is a publishing powerhouse :) Cheers, - Marcelo.

[O] Org HTML-PDF publishing
Hey guys, Is it feasible to publish something (say an ebook) to html and then convert it to pdf? I know *TeX is the most powerful framework for creating PDFs, but given that I'm more familiar with CSS, I'm sure I could come up with a better style for the document in much less time than if, say, using LaTeX, as of now. My thought is, publish to HTML via org using a custom CSS, and then convert this HTML+CSS to PDF somehow - I'm still not sure how exactly - printing to PDF from the browser might be an option, however, I'm afraid that the final PDF quality will not be enough for the given publication. Has anyone tried this workflow? Cheers, - Marcelo.

Re: [O] Org HTML-PDF publishing
If you have the html, there seem to be some things around to convert to PDF: - http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ - http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xhtml2pdf/ - http://www.winnovative-software.com/download.aspx - http://www.html2pdf.fr/en Good luck!

More ideas: - Calibre (calibre-ebook.com) can convert HTML to PDF, open source and free. - OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Read files and export to PDF ? - Within reason you can do that in a browser and print to PDF (native in Linux and Mac, Get a PDF print driver - PDFCreator, dump to Post Script and ps2pdf in cygwin... ad nauseum -) . Calibre might be your best bet being that it handles bulks of HTML pages, but YMMV. Luis -- Luis R.
