How to Save HTML File as PDF

Saving a web page as a PDF file is a good idea when you want to keep the page’s layouts, graphics, and formatting. Unlike PDF documents, web pages in HTML format can vary in length and appearance depending on the user’s software. Saving HTML also means that you have to store graphics, style sheets, and other related files separately, while PDF ties them all together in one file. A variety of programs can convert HTML and other file types to PDF.

CutePDF Writer

  • Go to the main page of CutePDF Writer. Click “Free Download” on the left menu. Save the file to your computer.
  • Go to the folder where you saved the CutePDF Writer installation file. Double-click the file to launch the “Setup Wizard”. Follow the instructions to install CutePDF Writer as a virtual PDF printer on your computer.
  • Start the web browser. Open the HTML page that you want to save as a PDF file. If it is saved on your computer, click “File”. Browse through the folders, select the file when you find it, and click “Open.” If it is an online web page, type its address in the address bar and press the “Enter” key.
  • Click “File” on the menu bar. Click “Print”. When the “Print” dialog box appears, click the drop-down list of printers. Select CutePDF Writer by clicking on it once. Click “OK” to print.

When you see the HTML file you want to convert to PDF, click on the file and click “Open”. Acrobat will display a PDF version of the web page.
  • Click the floppy disk icon on the “File” toolbar, or go to the “File” menu and click “Save As.” Find a folder where you want to save the PDF file, and type a name for it. Acrobat will use the original file name (with a .pdf extension instead of .htm or .html) and the default folder. Click Save.”
