Converting MHTML to PDF can be done through a PDF printer or a two-step process using an HTML converter. MHTML is an archive file used by some OSs and web browsers, while PDF is a standardized and easy-to-work with file format.
There are several ways to convert MHTML to PDF, and the best choice for you often depends on how experienced you are using conversion software. One of the easiest ways to do this conversion is to download a program that can be used as a PDF or portable document format, printer. There are several programs that can be used in this way, including freeware and commercial software, and this allows the software to be used as a virtual printer, converting the file into a PDF as it “prints”. You can also use two different programs together to convert MHTML, or MIME HyperText Markup Language, to PDF, using one of them to convert MHTML to standard HTML and then converting HTML to PDF.
It may seem a little complicated to convert MHTML to PDF, but this is largely due to the differences between these file types. An MHTML document is simply a file that acts as an archive where the various images, text, animations, and other aspects of a web page are held together. These files are often used by certain operating systems (OSs) and web browsers to track sites and speed up their loading in the future. The MHTML file format isn’t fully standardized across platforms, however, making its use more difficult in some settings, in which case a standardized, easy-to-work with PDF file is often preferable.
To convert MHTML to PDF, you need a single program that you can use as a PDF printer, or you need two different converters. A PDF printer is a file converter that you install on your computer, at which point it becomes a virtual print server on your computer. You can then open any printable file, including an MHTML file, via a compatible web browser and choose to print that file. When you print, however, you choose the PDF printer program as the printer, rather than an actual printer. Once you do that and choose to print, the PDF printer converts the MHTML to PDF and saves a new file for you.
This is a fairly simple way to convert MHTML to PDF, but using a PDF printer may seem a little strange. You can also do this conversion through a two-step process where you first convert the MHTML file into a more standard HTML file type. Several programs can be used for this conversion, and the resulting HTML file can be usable by a number of different programs and browsers that do not have an MHTML file.
Once you have the HTML file, you can use another converter program to turn it into a PDF. There are several HTML to PDF converters that you can use more easily than PDF printers. Some of these programs may act the same way as PDF printers, however, in which case you can use them to convert MHTML to PDF directly and skip the other conversion.
