Both from our mobile phone and on the desktop PC, through the web browser we visit multiple Internet pages a day. Many of these focus on news or at least text content, so saving them to a PDF It could be very useful in certain circumstances.
It must be taken into account that we do not always have access to the Internet, something that is especially evident in the mobile devices. We may not have coverage or direct access to any Wi-Fi networksometimes for a long period of time. Hence, being able to access these websites, or at least their text content, even if we are offline, will be very useful for us.
If we are a little farsighted, we always have the possibility of creating a PDF file with those websites that interest us to continue reading when we are Without connection. Next, we are going to talk about 2 simple methods that will be very useful in these tasks.
Convert websites to PDF with this program
First of all, we are going to talk about a web application that you can use directly from your browser for these tasks that we are talking about. In addition, it must be taken into account that it is a completely free and very easy-to-use software solution to convert any website into a PDF. Specifically, we refer to the tool called HTML to PDF from which we can benefit from its official website.
At the same time it is important to know that it cannot be easier to use. In its main interface we find a text box where we only have to enter the web in question that we want convert. On the right side of it we find a button that will allow us to start the conversion process as such to obtain the resulting file.
After a few seconds, which is how long the application takes to carry out the aforementioned conversion, we will have the possibility of downloading and saving that PDF file with all the pages detected in the web loaded. This will allow us to be able to take that file that has been generated on any device to read the content of the page if we do not have a connection.
Get the file from the browser
However, it can also be the case that we do not want to complicate our lives with external third-party applications. Perhaps many of you will be interested in knowing that we have the possibility of converting any website that we visit to a PDF file using only our favorite browser. In most cases this will be Google Chromebut this is a feature that we find in most programs of this type.
For this we are going to use the functionality known as Microsoft print to PDF. Thus, it is enough that we situate ourselves in the function of printing that the vast majority of web browsers current. Obviously once we have loaded the Internet page with which we wish to work and which we are going to convert.
Here instead of using the printer that we have installed on the computer, we select the aforementioned Microsoft print to PDF function. This will allow us to generate a office file of these characteristics to equally enjoy those contents offline.
