Convert a web page to a PDF

Ever needed to convert a web page to a PDF? Well html-pdf-converter.com does just that simple and free, without any registration required.
While it may not come up often, it does come up. Maybe you want to an archive copy of a page. Maybe you wanted to follow-up with a customer or colleague and want them to have a copy on hand of an important web page.
Sending a link to a page doesn’t guarantee that the information will be the same on a future visit, or that the page will exist at all. And if you wanted to email that page to someone saving a whole web page to your hard drive, zipping up all the files (html and images), and attaching it to an email can be a cumbersome process and doesn’t always work as well as you’d hoped.
While not a common tool, the html to pdf converter might be just what you need from time to time, and it’s smart to use the right tool for the job. And this single purpose tool does a good job. It renders most pages with decent accuracy, but more imporantly it makes all hyperlinks on the page clickable in the PDF.
I liked it for the ability to archive old pages for later comparison, portfolios, and simple nostalgia.
More PDF converters from the same folks
This free service is a promotional service for BaltSoft’s freepdfconvert.com where they offer a variety of other PDF converters such as MS Office to PDF and even cooler, PDF to Excel. I haven’t tried all their converters, but I thought that the html to pdf site was useful enough to share with you here.
Happy PDFing…
that was some sort of good solution – there are some other good solutions available into the market but this sems to
be the best so far.. .
That may be a fine ASP .NET solution, but it doesn’t look like it will be much help to the average person who might need a simple converter. The link you posted looks like it is geared towards programmers? Correct me if I am wrong though.
But as Mark intimates, the need for turning a web page into a pdf seems kind of silly, like printing one on paper. The internet is so ubiquitous, why not just send a link? But then Mark always complains about links changing or content changing, so maybe I’m just wrong. (I guess pdf-ing a web page is better in the long run than printing it).
Nonetheless I posted this at all because someone a long time ago asked about a way to convert a website into a pdf. And I thought surely there were regular people who would be interested.

That’s pretty cool. That reminds me of the time we turned my website into an interactive CD-rom, back before broadband.
