Export a webpage to PDF in your PC
You have been searching the web for solutions to your problems and along the way you have found a treasure trove of tips, tricks, and pages that you just had to download. However, you’ve found no link to download the PDF version. What would you do?
Usually, you’d open up OpenOffice.org, copy and paste the content from the site, and click File, Export to PDF. Or you can do it a little simpler, and quicker.
Adobe has launched its online PDF creation service which allows you to upload your file, or reference a site, and it will generate the PDF for you that you can download to your computer. Downside is that you will need to of course subscribe to their service at a cost.
“I just need to export an entire online page to PDF.”
I’m telling you now, you can do what Adobe allows you to do at no extra cost. Yep folks — at no cost! To convert that secret tip page you’re currently reading, you can just open up your browser and point it to:
http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL=_SITE_URL_&
page=1&top=0.5&bottom=0.5&left=0.5&right=0.5
Make sure that its all on one line and change _SITE_URL_ to that of the page url that you want converted to PDF, press enter, then save the file when prompted.
One caveat though is that there might sites that have content on floating divs that might be dynamically generated. There are times that those might not be included in the export. So far, for static pages, and most printer-friendly versions of your favorite pages, they can be exported to PDF without any hitch.
