Save webpages as pdf file

[rockedge]

There are times that information on a web page will be needed while the system is off-line and a copy in a PDF format would be an easy and practical way of storing and accessing that web page.

To do this in Puppy Linux open the PPM (or from the command line with Pkg ) and search for and install wkhtmltopdf

In a terminal use it like this : wkhtmltopdf <webpage_url> <output_file>

Code: Select all

wkhtmltopdf http://puppylinux.com /root/Downloads/puppylinux.com.pdf

for help :

Code: Select all

wkhtmltopdf -h

screen coordinates can be given to only capture a region of an html page.

maybe a script can be assembled to grab pages with a drag and drop of the URL of the target pages.
