Create PDF from web pages in Chrome, Opera, or on your iPhone
PDF Download - which you may have read about before on Download Squad - is now available in handy bookmarklet form and works from just about any browser.
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!
