I have a whole bunch of .html files on my computer (manuals) and I wanted to know if there's a way to combine them to form one big .pdf file or maybe .doc or any other printable format. It's such a pain opening up each page with IE and then printing when there should be a way to combine them. It also makes it easier to search for specific things.

Does anyone have any ideas or programs on how to do this?

A lot of Adobe products do what you just explained (obviously since they created adobe acrobat).

PHP can be used to generate .pdf on the fly as well.

I don'T know of any easy to use, free tool to do that without programming skills though.

Oh well :( I basically have a directory with about 40 .html files wishing I can combine them somehow.

I think WordPerfect may be able to do that. I know that it can save in PDF format.

You can use the PDFPrint Driver to print them to PDF.

So I print each .html file to a .pdf. Now how would I combine all the .pdf's to make one big one?

Aloha,
well if ya have acrobat (the expensive one not the reader.
ya can just drag em onto the area and tell it where to add it and drag em around

if not try making a big word doc first or a html editor to make a big doc out of it first ???
the nice thing about acrobat ya can make menus on the side and have em link to the article
