It is working properly only on Firefox. After spending a day to make it work I finally found cause of error. I found code blocks that are causing this error but there is no logical meaning the cause of bug. It is too long to explain what kind of bug I had, but all I can say is that it is totally nonsense.

Choose your options. There are a couple of options you can select from before creating the PDF. Click the "Layout" drop-down menu to choose between Portrait or Landscape orientation.

Click the Save button. Choose a name and location to save the PDF file. Method 2. Open the page that you want to turn into a PDF. You'll notice that when you use this method, some elements will be changed. This is because web designers can force the browser to print the web page a certain way. You'll only be creating a PDF of the web page you are currently visiting. If you want to make a PDF of a full web-page, or need to include all of the elements, see Method 4.

Hello Boerge. Check it out. This is much better than using. However, it is only available for Firefox 1. I enjoyed the article and downloaded the pdf creator which I had not known about — sounds handy, and I might go to paperless bank statements now also. That seems to get an exact copy of the page without the fuss of a separate file that contains the graphics, etc. However the lost information would have bothered me.

I think saving to the archive is safer! A great subject, mini-tutorial reply by Leo and useful informed comments. This will place the saved info on your page without any of the annoying formating from the web page this allows you to format it to match existing font, color, size etc.

What tools can be used to read those formats, and will they really be around, or will they be everywhere and on every platform? PDF has become such a defacto standard for document production and archival that it seems the safest. I can read it on pretty much any machine and any OS — even my phone. And I expect it to remain viable for a long, long time. Thanks Leo. Very informative article. Nevertheless,I seldom save to PDF. I find it too restrictive. There is a movement afoot to get away from proprietary formats for which royalties have to be paid.

One example would be the Open Document format. Anyway,my preferred format for now is mht most of the time. Then html, if the page contains elements pictures etc that I may want to save separately. Another advantage is that most browsers open a html or mht file. They will not open a pdf,unless you have the plugin. Additionally,most wordprocessors from various companies can open htm,html and mht formats. Some programs were mentioned for saving webcontent. As always,just my point of view.

The easywebaction. Nothing on the page. However the Fastone has a latest version which is free and seems wonderful. I will be using it. I have been using Evernote but it is not friendly for then copying a full version of the page to another format. I copy a lot of web pages with text and pictures. Here is what I do now. I copy sections in order.

A section is batch of pure text or a single picture. Then I use a trick I learned from Leo. Works perfectly. A bit more work but not too much. I personally use the ScrapBook Addon with Firefox. Do you know why is that? Anyone can help me to solve this? Is there any necessary additional setting for this issue? Besides, it is cost effective and for this reason, it is the perfect Acrobat Alternative.
