Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Create PDF from web pages in Chrome, Opera, or on your iPhone
Drag the bookmarklet onto your toolbar, and you've got a plugin-free way to capture web pages to PDF. It worked very well on four browsers on my PC - Firefox, Chrome, IE, and KMeleon. Getting the bookmarklet into recently reviewed QTWeb required first adding it to IE then importing my bookmarks. It worked, though QT spawned 7 windows of the convertor and saved one copy of the PDF for each - an issue with QT, not the bookmarklet.
It even works on the iPod Touch and iPhone. Add the bookmark to your favorites in IE on your desktop and sync them to your device. When you're on a page you want to convert, press the bookmarks button and choose Save Page as PDF.
Once the conversion is done, the PDF will display in Safari - just email yourself the link to pull it up later on your desktop.
For a near zero-footprint way to save web pages as PDF, this is definitely a handy bookmarklet to add to your browser.
Thanks, Richard!

Note, this doesn't appear to work with any site you have to log in to (it spits out the unsecured home page), so not particularly useful for private purposes, such as training etc. Too bad.

Lee, thanks for the mention on DownloadSquad. Much appreciated! The comment from Chris above above is correct too. At the moment we're limiting our conversions to just publicly available web pages -- ones that don't require you to login and so forth to view them.
