pdf's of Acts

[Duncan Campbell]

My solution to this issue is (for the Acts available on HMSO) is:

Use a site ripper to download linked the html.   I'm using Black Widow.

*  Point it at the first page of the Act concerned on the HMSO site.   Set it to stay withing the URL.

* Download the linked pages.

* Use the convert option to link the pages to the main page on your hard drive.

* Create desktop link to the index page and put it where you want.

I'd say this is even better than working to create a pdf or a doc file.  You get the full functionality of the html links, which becomes very convenient and very fast when its on your local disk.
