Bulk convert Safari’s Web Archives to PDFs
News| No Comments »I’ve been archiving web pages using Safari’s one-file web archive format for a while. I was trying to figure out a bulk conversion method if I want to send these archives to Windows users, or switch to a different browser. It turns out that Scott Garner’s Download URL as PDF Automator action can take web archive files from the Finder and will convert them to PDFs (in addition to its intended function of downloading pages off the web.)
Just download the Automator action, then create a workflow with Find Finder Items hunting through your home directory for files that have the extension webarchive. That action should feed into Scott’s action, and you’re all set. The action has some options, including whether or not the PDF should be split into pages.

(For instance, if you take a look a the Address Book entries in Safari 4′s Bookmarks area, you will find that the Apple Inc. card has a home page associated with it.)
It’s not obvious how to accomplish this, as a Home Page field does not appear by default on a new blank card, nor when editing an old one or when adding fields using the green (+) button. The solution is in the Card » Add Field menu. From that menu, select the URL entry to add the field to any card. After entering a URL, it will then appear in Safari’s Address Book bookmarks.
[robg adds: This is a somewhat obvious hint, though we’ve run hints on using Add Field in the past. If you’d always like the URL field to appear on new cards, open Address Book’s preferenc…
