Convert WEB to PDF

Understanding web and PDF file formats

Web files typically refer to HTML files or complete web pages that are viewed in browsers. These files can include text, images, styles, and scripts, and are used to display content on the internet. PDF (Portable Document Format) is a widely used file format developed by Adobe for presenting documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, or operating systems. PDFs preserve the layout, fonts, and graphics of the original document, making them ideal for sharing and printing.

Why convert web files to PDF?

Converting a web page to PDF allows you to save the content for offline viewing, archiving, or sharing while maintaining the original layout and design. PDFs are also easier to print and annotate compared to web pages.
