In all the excitement of our PDF Download 2.0 (Firefox add-on) release a month or so back, we barely mentioned a cool little free HTML to PDF service we launched at the same time.
The new Web-to-PDF feature in PDF Download 2.0 uses a Web server to quickly convert any (unsecured) Web page into a pretty good PDF replica, and it’s this service we employ for our lesser-known Web-based tool.
The Web-based tool works in a similar way, except there’s no need for you to install anything. This is great if you use browsers like Internet Explorer, Safari or Google Chrome (which can’t run PDF Download), or you find yourself on a computer without the PDF Download add-on installed.
How to convert using the Web/HTML-to-PDF service
To use the service, it’s simply a matter of copying the URL of the Web page you would like to convert, and then heading over to the Web-to-PDF page on the PDF Download site. Here’s how to do it step by step.
- Go to the Web page you would like to convert. Then highlight the address/URL and copy it.
- Head to the Web-to-PDF service on the PDF Download site. Paste the URL in the form, enter your email address, and click Convert to PDF.
- Open your email client and check your Inbox. In a few moments a PDF version of the Web page should arrive.
If you have feedback on the service or would like to suggest new features, please head over to our Customer Connect site and share your thoughts.
