Printing a Web page, especially one without a printer-friendly version, can be a paper-wasting nightmare. If the page is too wide, most printers will cut the page at an awkward point, which loses important text, often in the middle of a word.
There are several ways to create more print-friendly Web pages, but one of the newest and easiest to use is iWeb2Print.
Paste the URL of the Web page you want to print in the URL text entry box.
Choose the paper size upon which you plan to print. If you do not intent to print the page, an instead want to use the PDF on an e-reader, the Letter size is probably the best of the options.
Next, choose the orientation of the page. In most cases, portrait works best.
iWeb2Print also offers the options to create the PDF in gray scale, with no images, or with no background. Check the boxes next to these options if they meet your needs.
When you have made all of your selections, click the big, orange Convert button.
After a few seconds, a preview of your PDF will appear at the bottom of the page. A link will also appear for you to download the PDF. Click the link and save the file to your computer.
For Chrome and Firefox users, iWeb2Print offers a browser extension. Once installed, the extension can convert any Web page to a PDF with one click.
Just for fun, we tested iWeb2Print on iPhone and iPad. The PDFs turned out beautifully, and saved easily with iBooks. They also print well through Air Print. This is definitely a Web site worth a bookmark.
