How to Save a Webpage as a PDF

When creating a PDF of a website, some elements may be changed automatically. To avoid this, you can use an open-source library called jspdf that converts HTML content into PDF format using the html2canvas library.

If you want to convert multiple PDFs to Excel, check out our blog post on converting multiple PDFs with our API.

Here's how to save a webpage as a PDF:

1. Open the page that you want to convert into a PDF in your browser.

2. Click on the 'Print' button or press Ctrl + P (Windows) or Cmd + P (Mac).

3. In the print dialog box, select 'Save as PDF' under the 'Destination' section.

4. Choose a name and location for your PDF file, then click 'Save'.

5. Alternatively, you can right-click anywhere on the page and select 'Print', or use the shortcut Ctrl + P (Windows) or Cmd + P (Mac).

6. In some browsers, the wording may differ slightly, but make sure to choose the option that ends with 'to PDF' or 'as PDF'.

7. Don't use the 'Microsoft Print to PDF' option as this will save your PDF as an image rather than a searchable PDF.

If you are looking to extract tabular data from the PDF, try PDFTables for converting PDF to Excel or CSV.

In Google Chrome, you can also download a webpage as a PDF by clicking on the three dots in the top right corner of the browser window, then selecting 'More tools' and 'Print'. In the print dialog box, select 'Save as PDF' under the 'Destination' section.

Saving a webpage as a PDF is a simple process that can be done in just a few clicks. It's a great way to preserve information from a website and access it later when you don't have an internet connection.
