The PDF format is used very frequently. The sample of documents is very complete, and there are also multiple tools for reading and modifying them . Ideally, you should be able to create a document in this format that displays a web page. To achieve this, it is not necessary to install any type of application on the computer or mobile device.
By creating the PDF document of a web page, we can send it via email and share it on social networks, among other possibilities. Below we show what to do, both in Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.
Create PDF on computers
No matter what web browser we are using, the process is valid for Google Chrome, Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and more. When we find ourselves on a web page, we only have to indicate what we want to do, that is, print the page.
Thus, if we use Google Chrome or Edge, we will have to click on the three points that are in the upper right and follow these steps:
- In the popup menu that is displayed we must select Print .
- A window opens in which a copy of the page with all the elements that compose it appears on the left side. On the right we must select Save as PDF in the Destination section . In the Pages section we can leave the default option activated, All , or resort to one of the options shown. We can also indicate if we want the design to be Vertical or Horizontal .
- When we have made the selections, we just have to click on the Save button at the bottom right of the window.
