web pages to PDF automator workflow

I have seen a number of questions posted about this issue, but can't find any responses that resolve the issue. Is this beyond Automator's functionality or is the solution tied up with Applescripts.

I do massive amounts of web research and a solution would save me a great deal of time and button pushing. Has anyone any thoughts or helpfull pointers.

Many thanks

I'm trying to grab a page from a web site and convert tyo pdf in one click. Given the volume of research I do this would ultimately save me time. This is also my first attempt at using Automator.

I've currently got the following actions in my workflow:
Get current Webpage from Safari
Download URLs as pdfs
New folder

I'm probably missing something fairly fundemental here.

Hi,

I tried the following workflow:

- Get Current Webpage from Safari
- Download URLs as PDFs
- New Folder

on this thread page, and it seemed to work for me; it created a pdf called "thread.pdf" in the new folder that I created. Could you be a little more specific about what exactly isn't working for you, and which webpages you are trying this on? Thanks!
