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.

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:

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.
