Screenshot

On iPhone, you can also take a screenshot of a selective page on a website and save it as a PDF. You can convert the image to a full-text view for a PDF file. Moreover, with this method, you can have only text files without ads or pictures by switching to reader mode on safari. 

  1. Launch a website on Safari and browse through the webpage you want to save
  2. If you do not want Ads or pictures, navigate to the Two A menu and switch to Show Reader. You can skip this step if you want pictures on your PDF.
    navigate-to-the-two-A-menu-and-switch-to-Show-Reader
  3. Now, on an iPhone with a Home button, press the Power and Home button in sync to take a screenshot.
  4. Similarly, for iPhone without the Home button, press the Side and Volume up buttons together for screenshots.
    press-Side-and-Volume-up-button-together-for-screenshot
  5. The screenshot you took will appear at the bottom. Tap on it to Expand the photo.
  6. Go to Full Page menu (It will automatically convert to PDF)
    Go-to-Full-Page-menu
  7. Choose Share icon at the top
    Choose-Share-icon-at-the-top
  8. Select Save to Files or Share with others

Using Word

In case you just want to save only the webpage texts, you can use word for both PC and mobile. You can copy and paste the entire article text into a new document. Then, save it as a PDF file. You can use this method when you are unable to save using the mentioned method. You can also check out our other article on how to convert word doc to PDF for more detailed reference. 

Using Third-party Tools

You can also add several third-party extension tools to save the webpage as PDF on your web browser. For Instance, Adobe Acrobat, PDFShift, etc. However, we recommend you use such third party only as a last resort.
