Perhaps I've missed something fundamental (and I'm not at a Tiger
machine so can't confirm) but can't this already be done in
Automator, using Safari and Finder actions? Something like Get
specified URLs->Save pages->Print files.
I wish it were that easy, but there are a couple of problems.
First, you can only "Download URLs" to individual html files, not
PDFs, and you can only "Print Finder Items" straight to printers, not
files. Second, you can't properly use any third-party actions to
convert an already downloaded html file to a PDF because you wouldn't
have the associated content (images, style-sheets, etc.).
There seems to be quite bit of demand for the type of action I'm
working on based on posts to the automator discussion forums, so
we'll see how it goes.
I'm almost done with a beta!
