Booking confirmation, receipt, article — anything on the web on Windows can be a PDF in two seconds. Ctrl+P, change the printer, save. Most people use the browser's screenshot tool instead, which is the wrong tool for the job.
Ctrl+P → Microsoft Print to PDF
In Edge or Chrome, Ctrl+P. In the printer dropdown, choose Microsoft Print to PDF (Edge) or Save as PDF (Chrome). Adjust the page range if needed. Click Print/Save. Choose a location. Done.
The whole webpage saves as a multi-page PDF — full styled content, not a screenshot.
Edge's reading view first
Edge's Immersive Reader (F9 or the book icon in the address bar) strips ads and nav before printing. Pages save cleaner. Works on news articles and blog posts; not all sites support it. Try first; fall back to printing the raw page if needed.
Cleaning up the PDF
Saved web pages often have headers, footers, ads, cookie banners scattered through. Edit the PDF in Flint to remove unwanted content. Delete pages that are pure clutter. For receipts archiving, the cleanup makes them readable in two years.
FAQ
Why is the result so long?
Webpages don't have page breaks. The PDF stretches the full scrollable length, which may be 10+ pages for a typical article. Use Reading View first or trim pages in Flint after.
Can I save just the visible viewport?
Not natively. Browsers print the full page content by design. For a viewport-only save, use Windows' Snipping Tool (Win+Shift+S) to screenshot, then convert to PDF if needed.
Does this work for sites that require login?
Yes — the print captures whatever's on screen, including logged-in content. Don't share PDFs of authenticated pages publicly; they may include personal data.
