Default file.html to file.pdf or file.ps

Is there a software to convert file.html to file.pdf or file.ps

Alternately what is the way to read file.html without
pasting the file-name in the mozilla-firefox firefox?

Thanks for the help.

P.Rudra.

OpenOffice.org Writer will convert html to pdf using the export function..

there is probably a command line form, but i don't know it (did you
search via google? [yep i just looked, just use Yast to install
imagemagic then use convert, see 46,000 hits at:
http://www.google.com/linux?q=convert+html+to+pdf+ps

you didn't say if you are running KDE3, KDE4, Gnome, XFCE, or
what...so it is kinda hard to know what to say, exactly...but, i guess
you are looking at the file in konqueror, dolphin, or it is laying on
the desktop, or what? well, depending on where it is and what you are
running:

- try a single left click on the file, or
- try a single right click on the file and from the popup select
(something like)
-- open in new window
-- open in new tab
-- open with Opera
-- open with Firefox
-- open with Konqueror
-- open with Scribes Text Editor
-- open with Bluefish
-- preview in KHTML
-- preview in Embedded Advanced Text Editor
- try double left clicking

Thanks. Clicking on the file in user's home and then
exporting seems to be the simplest.
