I'm using acrobat pro and converted a web page to pdf. The header and footer have the web page title at the top and url at the bottom. Is there a way to remove these for the pdf. Thanx
 
You can create a white box in Acrobat to cover up the header and footer.
 
Could you point me out how to create the white box. I've used the text box tool in "Advanced commenting" but this creates a yellow box.

Also, is there another method. Sometimes I may have 50 plus pages created and it would be very time consuming creating the boxes for the header and footer for each page.
 
I assume you have printed the web page via distiller? If so, before you print it go to print preview and select print setup from the toolbar. You will then be able to remove the header and footer texts and print the document without them appearing.

I'm currently using Adobe Acrobat Professional. I've created some reports to display in IE explorer. Acrobat Professional allows me to "Convert Webpage to PDF." Once I click on this Acrobat Pro comes up with the webpage converted. I just click the print button in Acrobat Pro.

I went to Adobe's site and the only Distiller product I could find is Acrobat Distiller Server 6.0. Description as follows:
Adobe® Acrobat® Distiller® Server 6.0 software enables workgroups to convert Adobe PostScript® files to compact, reliable, and more secure Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files over a network.

Is this what you are talking about? I don't use Adobe that much, could you please clarify what I should do. Thanx.
 
Distiller is an integral part of Acrobat - it's the part that creates PDF files from Postscript files (you print via distiller and it creates the pdf). You are using a conversion tool which does essentially the same thing - there are a number of these addins which become available in a range of MS products after you install Acrobat.

The point is that you don't have to use them - you can print directly through distiller - it is listed as an option in your available printers. Doing it this way will allow you to set the print parameters as I mentioned earlier. If you use the addin it will not allow you this option.
