Conversion Settings Specifies the conversion settings for HTML and Text. Choose a file type and click Settings to select
the font properties and other characteristics.
Create Bookmarks Creates a tagged bookmark for each converted web page using the page title (HTML Title element)
as the bookmark name. If the page has no title, the URL is used as the bookmark name.
Create PDF Tags Stores a structure in the PDF that corresponds to the HTML structure of the web pages. This structure
lets you create tagged bookmarks for paragraphs, list elements, and other items that use HTML elements.
Place Headers And Footers On New Page Places a header and footer on every page. Headers show the web page title, or
if no title is available, the web page URL or file path. Footers show the web page URL or file path, and the date and time
of the download.

The Page Layout options specify a selection of page sizes and options for width, height, margin measurements, and page
orientation.
The Scaling options are as follows:
Scale Wide Contents To Fit Page Rescales the contents of a page, if necessary, to fit the width of the page. If this option
is not selected, the paper size adjusts to fit the contents of the page, if necessary.

less than the specified percentage of the original size. Available only if you selected portrait orientation.
