If you come across a webpage that you might want to save for later, whether to read an article offline or download a research paper or two, saving a webpage as a PDF is an easy option (once you know how). While you can bookmark a website for later, there’s always a chance that the webpage you were viewing will be deleted or changed. Saving a webpage as a PDF is possible in all web browsers, including Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari on both desktop and mobile versions.
How to Save a Web Page as PDF

On the right-hand side, you should see an option called Destination, where you can choose which printer you want to use. One of the options in the drop-down menu should be Save as PDF . Then, click the blue Save button and choose the location where you want to save the PDF file.
To save as a PDF in Edge, first open your browser and find the page you want to save. Then, click the three-dot icon in the upper right corner and choose Print from the menu.

For Firefox, open the browser and select the three dots icon at the top right of the browser. From that menu, choose the Print option. A printer window will appear asking you which printer you want.
