Is there anything that is especially confusing about the web archive files?
They are easily opened in IE and offer paging support.

If you open the Web archive in IE and save it as a regular Web thicket, then
you can recover the embedded images by renaming the appropriate files as GIF
or PNG.

The Acrobat version won't make much difference until Adobe supports ink
natively. Acrobat doesn't understand beziers, only cruder polylines.

Another option is to select all the ink on a Journal page and paste it onto
a PPT slide (or other Office document). You can then use PPT to save slides
as image files (including colour TIFF). Unfortunately there isn't a way to
automate this process except via SendKeys types of scripts.
