I love looking at bookmarklets. These handy bookmarks that allow just about any browser to do even more amazing things are really handy to have. Want to convert any web page to a PDF to read later? I have found a bookmarklet that does that too.
The people behind PDF Download have produced their own bookmarklet to convert web pages into high-quality PDF files free from any browser. Just drag and drop this link to your bookmarks toolbar, and click it when you want to export to PDF:
Here are the setup instructions for all the various browsers out there:
- Google Chrome
- Safari
- Firefox (also see full add-on)
- Internet Explorer (also see full add-on)
- Opera
Only negative I could find is I got the “server is too busy” message more than a couple of times.
Know of anymore bookmarklets that will allow you to export a page into an entirely different format? Me neither, but if you do – please share. PDF Download’s solution will work for the time being though. Save on paper and export to PDF. That tree outside your window will thank you.
