How Can I Download a Website Article as PDF Without Copy-Paste?

Question

Post:Hi everyone,I came across an article on this website: and I want to save it as a PDF. But I don’t want to copy-paste the content manually. Is there a way to download the full webpage as a PDF directly from the browser or with any tool or extension?Looking for easy and clean methods that keep the format intact. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @John_Wilson4735,

Thanks for reaching out.
You can convert a webpage to PDF using Acrobat:

Convert web pages to PDF in Acrobat

Although you can convert an open web page to PDF using the Adobe Acrobat browser extension, you get additional options when you run the conversion from the Acrobat desktop application. For example, you can include an entire website in the PDF or just some levels of a website.

1. Open Acrobat and in the global bar, select Create > Web Page.

2. Enter the complete path to the web page, or select Browse and locate an HTML file.

3. To specify the number of levels on the website to convert, select Capture multiple levels. Enter the number of levels to include, or select Get entire site to include all levels from the website.

Note: Some websites have hundreds or even thousands of pages. Converting a large website can make your system slow and unresponsive, and can even use up available hard drive space and memory, causing a system crash. It’s a good idea to begin by downloading one level of pages and then going through them to find particular links to download.

4. If Get N level(s) is selected, select one or both of the following options:

Stay on the same path

Downloads only web pages subordinate to the specified URL.

Stay on the same server

Downloads only web pages stored on the same server.

5. Select Advanced settings, change the selected options in the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box as needed, and select OK.

6. Select Create.

Note: You can view PDF pages while they are downloading; however, you cannot modify a page until the download process is complete. You do not need to wait for the conversion to complete before adding more requests. While a conversion is in progress, you can convert another page to PDF, which will be added to the queue. The number of requests in the queue is indicated by the Pending Conversions field in the Download Status dialog box.
