I have a folder with hundreds of individual song charts in html form. I can open any one of the songs and screenshot it, open it in an image editor and save it as a PDF file and compile a PDF folder that I can load into ForScore on my (brand new) iPad.
Hundreds of times, one by one.
There has GOT to be a shortcut, a batch-conversion option. No?

There is an app called OnSong that will use other types of files .html, .pdf, .txt, etc. I use it to pull chords and lyrics from web pages all the time. I use 4 iPads, 1 as a sever and the other 3 as clients, very easy to get everybody on the same page.

Search for "convert html to pdf" and you'll see all manner of web based (free) convertors.

One or more of them might do the job for you.

I use them for a file or 2. There may be restrictions of the number of files you can convert at no charge.

Thanks, gentlemen.
One thing I am (sort of) committed to is Forscore. It was the use of this by the other guys in one band I'm working with that got me to buy an iPad. The ability to share stuff from the leader's Forscore to mine, right on the bandstand.....kind of blew my mind.
I don't think I want to load my iPad with more stuff than my brain can handle. But we'll see.

After making this post I went ahead and downloaded a free version of IcecreamApps converter. It seems to work well but (the free version) is indeed limited in the number of conversions it will do, per process (3, when I'm wanting to dump 200). I am considering buying the program. But it's $70 which seems very steep. So I'm going to sit on it for a bit. But I do now have the answer to my question as to whether there is such a thing. Yes. Yes there is.

Ok. I just did a huge number of files online here and encountered no limits at all. Free appeals to me greatly!
