I'm primarily a photographer and writer with some design experience. I've been hired by a local government agency to write stories, take photographs and then design an e-newsletter. The agency also wants the e-newsletter as a downloadable pdf. My wonky workflow: Design (from a blank page, no template) the e-newsletter in iWeb, with my stories and photos as the content; save to a desktop folder; take screenshots of the files with Paparazzi and save each page as a pdf; then combine them into a single pdf in Acrobat. I send them the html files and pdf. Is there an easier way to do this? I tried to use Acrobat to convert iWeb's html files directly into a single pdf, but Acrobat never translates them correctly. Is there an easy- to-learn and affordable wysiwyg html editor that will also output files as a pdf? Any workflow advice is appreciated.
Why build in iWeb?

It would be much easier to build the newsletter in Apple's iWork Pages application - from there you can export as nice clean PDFs, and send the entire thing to iWeb if you need to. (You can also export as a MS Word file if you wish).
