Title: Automate Web Page Printing
Post by: jfs on August 26, 2011, 09:04:18 PM

I've been trying to find a way to use the windows task scheduler to open a web page
and print it to a pdf writer.  I was hoping to run a dos batch file but only got as far
as opening the web page. Anyone have any advice or alternatives?

BC:

This would be exactly what I need.

I assume once I install the add-on, I treat the code as if it were DOS language and make it a batch file?

Any word on whether this type of thing can be done in IE?

Thanks!

Is there any reason Firefox won't serve your purpose?
