If you want to save a webpage looks like the same as what it appears on the website, then converting such webpage into a pdf file is the right solution. I came to know of a PDF Bookmarklet from the site PdfDownload which lets you do just the same with any web-page in Google Chrome.
What is a bookmarklet?
A bookmarklet came from the two words bookmark and applet. But this term is basically a computer application that is treated like normal bookmarks. It is just a one-click type of tool that adds new functions to your ordinary browser.
The most important function that it does is extracting data out of a web page such as images, texts and hyperlinks.
Here is a step-by-step guide to convert webpages in Google Chrome to high quality pdf files:
- First, try to check if your bookmarks bar is showing on the browser. If you can’t see it, then go to Tools menu and choose Always show bookmarks bar.
- Second, drag the link “Save Page as PDF” and place it right into the Bookmarks Bar.

- When you got the link on the Bookmarks bar, when you bumped into a webpage that you want to save then just click the “Save Page as PDF”.
- If you want to open the webpage right on a pdf file just open it up on your My Documents or the folder where you save the pdf file.
Thats it and you are done!
With this ever increasing compatibility of softwares and programs with google chrome, i am sure more and more users would switch to this user friendly and fast browser from Google.

Very useful tool
This is really an awesome addition to Chrome! I just love it
Hi good
thanks
Pointless. In Firefox: File->Print, Print to File, Output format: PDF. Built-in, and couldn’t be easier.
what i could download the add one ?
I thing that for the apple Chrome the web2pdf is useless, since this remarkable piece of technology has this as an embedded feature.
However I believe that this is a real good plugin for Windows system.
Good work….
You want to get doPDF which lets you print pdf from anything. There are others, but doPDF is a nifty free tight little application.
