How To Create PDFs on the fly
Building a swipe file of site designs you like or copy that moves you is a smart move. Every mentor / coach / teacher will tell you to start a swipe file. But one problem I have is printing the websites. I never seem to be able to get the site formatted correctly to print. Here is the solution.
PDFMYURL.com converts web pages into full PDFs. For a simple, no-software-required solution, PDFmyURL creates PDF files on the fly when you plug in a web address. And there’s a bookmarklet so you can access the service anywhere you browse.
If you just want a PDF of a given URL at a certain time, PDFmyURL gets the job done with no fuss, no muss.
Click the “Advanced Options” on the right, though, and you’ll learn how to pull off PDF production without even visiting the site, embed advanced options, and even run PDFmyURL from your own server. Neat, free stuff, and a great public service.
I used this on one of my favourite sites, Optimal Nutrition For Life. The pdf wasn’t exact on all the background images but was far better than when I tried to print the site from the browser.
