I wrote a macro which downloads some web pages to my HD; now I want to convert each of these pages into a PDF file, and finally to concatenate all PDFs into a single one. Is this accomplishable in VBA? I only find code snippets to save Excel/Access/Word files into PDF! -- Jumpjack --

can the title be fixed to "storing"? -- Jumpjack --

Can javascript store into a variable the content of a page retrieved from an URL? -- Jumpjack --

just because it lacks an IDE? ;-) it uses same syntax, same keywords... -- Jumpjack --

Right, it works: I'm actually using RapidQ (Visual basic clone), I didn't notice that file path is seen as the last parameter received from commandline. For search engines: this code in RapidQ shows all the commandline parameters, last one being the path of the file dropped on the executable...

Let's suppose I add my program to SendTo menu, in such a way I can "send" to it any file just by right-clicking on the file: how can my program access the path of the right-clicked file? Looks like it is NOT in the command line...? -- Jumpjack --

I found a lot of methods to extract text from PDF having Acrobat installed.... but NONE with just acrobat reader! So, I think it's a licence issue: maybe Adobe does not allow developers to code SW which allow PDF text extraction... :-( -- Jumpjack --

I didn't realize .net framework was a virtual machine like java! -- Jumpjack --

#develop looks very cool; but the question is the same:what do my user need to run my programs? Currently they must donwload 20 MB to use my 40kb program (!!!), if they do not have XP... What about #develop? Can it produce totally standalone selfexecutable files? -- Jumpjack --

Does XP come with .net framework pre-installed? How large is the download I'll have to recommend to my users?... And, finally, does it exist a free version of Visual Basic? I Installed VB.NET just because I saw "Visual Basic 2005 Express edition is freeware", but I'm very comfortable with VBA...

sorry, typo in the tile: should be "VB, VBA, VB.NET,...??" -- Jumpjack --

Visual Basic, Visual Basic for Applications, VB.net... what are the differences among them? Does it exist a web page which explains it in detail? I just wrote my first VB Express 2005 program: now how do I distribute it? What do my user need to use it? Is the .exe enough, or do they need some...

what I actually need is to know which URI request the browser senda upon clicking the button, to simulate it by SW. -- Jumpjack --

Is it possibile to use VBA to extract text from PDF files? -- Jumpjack --

I have this web page, and I'd like to download also its sub-pages, usually accessible by clicking the button. How to accomplish this? http://www.cinematocasa.it/palinsesti.asp -- Jumpjack --
