Its funny, on a rare occasion, I too have saved some content as a PDF - more so for archiving rather than for offline viewing...But i guess i never thought to scale it for all/most of my bookmarks. It seems so obvious now after reading your comment. However, my experience with PDFs has been negative. From filesize to slow booting of myriad pdf viewers, etc., it just seems like viewing stuff in native html, text is better - at least for what I've experienced. Further, my preferred browser - firefox - leaves much to be desired in this arena of generating proper PDFs, and i end up switching to chrome (bleh!) just to "PDF something" that i saw/read online. Again, this function in firefox is not something that i use as often, hence why i stick with FF, and not gone back to chrome. However, going back to your approach....I wonder if i can use a tool - either like this monolith or singlefile, or even pupeteer, etc. - to snapshot web content, but save it into html instead of pdf. I would guess html content is still grep-able (as you noted for your PDF local searches). Hmmm...a local cache of my own offline bookmarks...Hmmm, interesting. Thank you for this inspiration!!
