A useful webpage can change, move, or disappear just when you need it. Saving a PDF gives you a copy you can open later, even when you are offline. The route is through the browser’s print controls, though the exact labels differ a little between computers.
Prepare The Page First
Open the page you want to keep and wait for its main content to finish loading. If it includes a long recipe, guide, or article, scroll through it once so any sections that load as you move down have a chance to appear. Use the page’s own print option if it has one; it may remove menus and other clutter before you save.
Choose PDF In Print
Open the browser’s print command from its menu, or press Control-P on Windows or Command-P on a Mac. On Windows, choose Save as PDF as the destination if it appears; in the system print dialog, Microsoft Print to PDF may be another available option. On a Mac, open the PDF menu in the print dialog and choose Save as PDF.
Review Before You Rely On It
Choose a folder, give the file a name you can recognize later, and save it. Open the PDF to check that the text and images you need made it onto the page; some websites format printouts differently from what you see in the browser. If a menu or advertisement takes up space, try the site’s print option or adjust the print settings and save another copy.
