How to save a web page as a PDF on a PC or Mac
Do you ever happen to find a web page that you’d like to save for later use?
For example, it might be a tech article explaining how to do some really neat things with your favorite gadget.
Well, you can easily turn virtually any web page into a PDF file that you’ll be able to open and revisit at any time without having to try to remember where you found it or cluttering up your browser by bookmarking a single web page.
It’s really easy to save a web page as a PDF. Just follow the steps below for the computer and browser you’re using.
If you’re using most any popular browser on a Windows PC:
1 – Open the page you want to save as a PDF in your browser.
2 – Press the Ctrl+P key combination.
3 – In the “Destination” field (or equivalent), select Save as PDF.
4 – Click the Save button.
If you’re using Safari on a Mac:
1 – Open the page you want to save as a PDF in Safari.
2 – On the menu bar at the top of the screen, select File > Export as PDF.
3 – (Optional) Type a name for the new PDF file.
4 – Select the location where you like to save the PDF to.
5 – Click the Save button.
That’s all there is to it. You can now open that newly-created PDF file at any time by clicking on it’s icon or filename. (Note: You might be prompted to select an app to open the PDF file in).
