Neat, but I don't remember the last time I looked at HTML and said "gee, I sure wish I had this in PDF".

- ewiethoff 18y agoRare, but I've saved a web page as PDF: the hours of my local library. I keep a printout at my fridge, and the PDF file itself is handy when I'm not online but too lazy/engaged to head to the fridge. I could have saved the page as Web Page Complete, but there's no sense saving the Javascript and Flash junk.
- psyklic 18y agoI save bank transactions, confirmation numbers, login info, shipping orders, etc. for my records. Sure is more convenient than saving the HTML.
- cool-RR 18y agoHow would you feed the bank statement page into this service?
- psyklic 18y agoyou wouldn't. nor would i trust personal documents with this service. hence, it's not very useful to me -- I use a PDF printer driver.
- rokhayakebe 18y agoMaybe save the html file then give it the local URL.
- teej 18y agoI'd say it's fabulous for the purposes of printing. This is a simple, cross-platform solution to print out what a website looks like.
- graemep 18y agoWhy is it better than printing to PDF? I just use Print and select Print to PDF as the printer (Firefox on Linux). That actually gives better results because it uses a print style sheet if it is available, whereas this site uses the screen style sheet. It would be useful if you want to print it exactly as it appears on screen: say as an alternative to taking a screenshot of the site and printing that.
- habibur 18y agoPrint to PDF is not available on most installation of Windows.
