Create a PDF out of a web page and make it print-friendly

There are times where you want to print great articles you find on a website to read later or as a reference. At times, however, the complexity of the web page design makes it almost impossible to get a nice, clean, formatted print out. Or perhaps you need to make a PDF document out of an HTML web page you are reading to be uploaded somewhere else.

Either way, it’s good to know that there is a free online converter to convert from a web page to a print-friendlier version or a PDF file.

PrintFriendly.com allows you enter a URL and magically transforms it into a print-friendly version or a PDF document online for free.

Once you specify a URL, Print Friendly will automatically generate a print-friendly version for you. The process normally happens within seconds.

Just like any other automated script, you may not be able to get a perfect translation. Thankfully, Print Friendly gives an easy-to-use interface to quickly remove elements that cannot be translated properly (such as JavaScript codes, etc) or if you don’t think that they are necessary to be included. Simply click on an element on the translation document to remove it.

That’s pretty much it, really. You can then easily send the final conversion to your printer, save it as a PDF file, or email it to yourself.
