Re: Render to HTML

The attachment that I received was named 
"VIRUS1_DETECTED_AND_REMOVED_92400001445_VIRINFO.TXT", and it was blank.

Was that the name of the file, or was it a virus?

HTML was never intended for paged printed output. The fact that your vendor 
uses it and gets acceptable output doesn't change the "square peg into a 
round hole" nature of the situation.

There is nothing in HTML that lets you define page limits.

FO is used to produce processing instructions to an application so that the 
application can produce PostScript or PDF output (some also do RTF and MIF).

On option may be to use Adobe Acrobat to open the HTML, somehow generate 
"pages" and save the output back to HTML, but I bet it is a long shot. 
Google can render PDF as HTML, but I have no idea if it prints well or not.
