You may find Print Friendly (free) to be a handy tool for capturing, cleaning, formatting and saving web content as a PDF or other format.

The demo looks good! I hate when I print some web page and it comes out all strange and it always seems to be one short line on the last page..... a waste of paper.

I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks for the heads up!

Ed

I agree Ed and Gene. I think of Print Friendly as my clipping tool on steroids. I learned about the clipping tool on this forum and now I use it almost every day. You wouldn't believe how I did it before :eek:

I guess PF is also a Chrome app if you use Chrome.

I find that I have good luck simply printing to PDF in my printer options instead of printing directly to the printer. That then gives me a clean PDF file to print using the option already in the operating system instead of needing more addons.

Me too Gary. Been doing that for years. But as in woodworking, sometimes special problems present themselves that call for additional tools!
