Convert Web Pages Into High-Quality PDF Files For Free

On my previous post, I’ve shown you PrimoPDF, a freeware that can convert your documents to PDF. And now, I will show you some free tools that can create, control, and convert online PDF files. Let’s start with the Firefox add-on, PDF Download.

PDF Download can do whatever you like with PDF files on the Web. Regain control and eliminate browser problems, view PDFs directly in Firefox as HTML, and use the all-new Web-to-PDF toolbar to save and share Web pages as high-quality PDF files.

Features of PDF Download:

1. View PDF Online - view the exact contents and layout of Web-based PDF files, without using a dedicated PDF viewer.

2. Tools to enable/disable PDF Download from the status bar, exclude sites, and detect PDF files based on name or MIME type.

3. Convert web pages into great looking PDF files, and then save, share, print or archive them.

4. Convert/view PDF as HTML - view the contents of PDF files faster and eliminate browser problems by instantly converting any web-based PDF to a browser-friendly HTML web page.

5. Control PDF files in your favorite browser - stop crashes and get the upper hand on web-based PDF files by automating and controlling how your Firefox, Flock or Internet Explorer browser deals with them.

6. Cross platform, cross browser - use the PDF Download add-on with Flock, Firefox, and Internet Explorer; on Windows, Mac and Linux machines.

How to use PDF Download:

1. Download and install PDF Download. Once installed, restart your browser.

2. A new button will appear on the Navigation Toolbar. Click the PDF Download button if you want to convert the web page you’re currently browsing into high-quality PDF file.
