<div dir="ltr">Hi Debee:<div><br></div><div>If you are more comfortable using the command line, you can download the HTML from the URL (e.g., you can type <span style="background-color:transparent;font-style:inherit;font-variant-ligatures:inherit;font-variant-caps:inherit;font-weight:inherit;white-space:inherit;font-size:13px"><font face="monospace">google-chrome --headless --dump-dom 'URL' > ./PATH/TO/FILE.html</font></span>) and then use free utilities to convert the (accessible Markdown) TXT version to PDF. <br></div><div><br></div><div>You could chain together these commands into a script to make it a simple process. For instance, some possible tools in the script could be <a href="https://pypi.org/project/html2text/" target="_blank">HTML2Text</a>, <a href="https://pandoc.org/">Pandoc</a>, or <a href="https://github.com/cognidox/OfficeToPDF">OfficeToPDF</a>. </div><div><br></div><div>Of course with OfficeToPDF, there may be things that you would still need to check in Acrobat, but the images + alt text, lists, and headings will all be there...</div><div><br></div><div>HTML2Text is a great tool in that it would allow you to optionally exclude things that you might not need or want from the web page. For instance, if the images are not so important to the user who just needs alt text, you can use the <font face="monospace">--images-to-alt option</font>. </div><div><br></div><div>HTH,</div><div><br></div><div>Joseph</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jun 24, 2021 at 9:02 AM Karen McCall <<a href="mailto:K4mccall@outlook.com" target="_blank">K4mccall@outlook.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I print a PDF of a web page from Edge or Chrome in Windows 10, I always get an inaccessible PDF.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I haven’t needed to do this for a student yet, but I don’t understand why this happens. The text of the web page is already available to whatever default driver is printing my PDF. I’m using whatever the Windows default is, though I’ve
tried other solutions.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before I need to do this for real, does anyone know how to easily print an accessible PDF from an accessible web page?<u></u><u></u></p>
