It seems like there are a million pdf converters.
Since buying a new desktop with a new Operating System, I think I’ve tried them all.
Why Can’t We Get Along?
Window 7 does not like my version of Acrobat Professional. It has been frustrating to deal with the problem.
Not wanting to download even more software, I was pleased when I discovered a site for converting web pages to a printer-friendly pdf – without downloading a thing.
New Tool
The new site is iWeb2Print and is super simple to use. It is from Sciweavers, an academic bookmarking networking site with free online academic tools.
1. Copy URL of web page for conversion – go to iWeb2Print.
2. Paste into the URL text box.
3. Select the paper size and layout from drop-down menus.
You also have the option of creating a pdf in grayscale, without images or no background. Click on the check box for your selection.
4. Click on the PDF Convert button.
5. Preview and/or Download PDF.
You have the option of previewing your pdf before downloading and saving the file.
iWeb2x is a plugin for Google Chrome and Firefox browsers, and offers –
- iWeb2 Print
- iWeb2Shot
That’s it – you’re done.
Simple – just how we like it.

I think that’s great. I shall use that tool to copy awesome sales pages from the likes of Copyblogger. I keep meaning to save these sales pages. This tool offers me an easy way to do so.
Hi Shane-I was glad to stumble across this. It’s probably because of my baby boomer eyes, but lots of time I need to print out and highlight text for research purposes. So I love this option.
Thanks for stopping by, Shane.
I’ll stick with Adobe Pro- I like doing more with what I have! But, this is a great tool. I have this on my netbook (which does NOT like Adobe 10 Pro) and another competitor on my phone (for the same reasons)
Hi Roy-I like Adobe Professional, too, but I would have to upgrade to get it to work with Windows 7. I haven’t decided if I’m going to do that yet, so in the interim, this works well. Thanks for sharing your experience, Roy.
This looks like a good tool, Cathy. I’ve been using the Web2PDf Chrome plugin, though it’s a bit hit or miss.
Hi Sharon-I just tried doing the plugin, too. I thought it was me. 😀 I think it’s just as easy (if not easier) to go to the site. Thanks for the insight on the plugin, Sharon.
Just uninstalled Web2Pdf and replaced it with iWeb2Print. First test looks good – I had a PDF in seconds. Thanks again for the recommendation, Cathy.
Glad to hear it, Sharon. So far, my experience has been great, too. Let us know if it takes a left turn.
Thanks for stopping by, Sharon.
