HTML2PDF with RoboTask

[eha]

Hi,

I have about 10'000 htm(l) files and I'd like to convert all of them to pdf. As this doesn't make fun, I found RoboTask, so perhaps you can help me finding a solution.

My plan is the following:
- I put all html files into a certain folder and start the RoboTask-Task
- It shall open the html file with Google Chrome, execute the following keystroke (in order to print the document):
1. STRG + P
2. ENTER
3. ENTER

I already fail in the point to open files automatically with a certain file extension (.htm).

Can you help me?

OS = Windows 7
Google Chrome Version 45.0.2454.85 m

Thanks!

Look at the example below
Pay attention that Chrome must be a default browser and default application for HTML files.
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.

Code: Select all
