Converting a Web Page to PDF format is easy.

November 12th, 2009 by Ken

Firefox is a favorite browser of mine, principally because of the extensions. Extensions are applets that augment your browsing experience, modifying Firefox so that your management of the information you’re viewing is easier and less involving. Many of the extensions afford users the ability to sort information in a more efficient manner (as many of you might have read, one such extension groups multiple pages of photographs into a single scrollable page), while others enable the extraction of information culled from the page you’re viewing.

One such extension we’ll touch upon is Web2PDF, a neat tool that allows you to convert any webpage you’re viewing into a PDF format. This is especially convenient if you’re looking to distribute the information gleaned from that particular website to multiple people. With Web2PDF, all one need do is convert the page to PDF format and distribute it accordingly.

Once the extension has been installed, you’ll have to ability to begin converting those page. Looking at the top of your browser, you’ll notice the addition of a button associated with the task. After you’ve decided to convert the page into a PDF, you’re tasked with just pressing that one button. Upon its submission, you will observe the conversion process.

Upon completion of that process, the tool will prompt you to download your newly created PDF. Simply right click and designate a location to which you’d like the PDF saved.

When viewing the directory in which the file has been saved, you’ll notice that its filename corresponds to the webpage from which it originated.

If you’re one of those people who’s ambivalent about installing too many extensions on your browser, Web2PDF can also be accessed directly. You can visit their website, where you’ll notice a field in which you can enter the URL of the webpage you’re looking to convert.

For those of you who’re looking for a better means of saving the information you read while browsing the web, this is a simple way to do so.
