Save Web Pages As PDF Documents For Offline Viewing

Saving webpages for offline viewing is nothing new. Almost all web browsers allow this functionality via letting you store web pages in HTML format, albeit also creating additional folders to store pertaining scripts, images, files and related content during the process. Even though offline HTML pages allow you to navigate just like you would while you're actually online, this isn't always a solution. If you're looking for a way to simply store the web page – for instance a page consisting of an article that you want to read later – it's better to save it in PDF format instead. One of the advantages of PDF is that you don't have to keep multiple files akin to HTML. To quickly Xerox a webpage into PDF, try locking your sights on Weeny Free HTML To PDF Converter. It's a lightweight yet powerful software that automatically converts and saves a web page into PDF at a breakneck speed. You can either convert an existing HTML file, or try entering the website's URL and the tool takes care of the rest.

The tool might look simple on the surface with a plain and user-friendly UI, but it does flawlessly what it's built for. The main window displays the list of URLs or files that you queue up prior to conversion. To the upper side of the window, there are navigation buttons for Add URL, Add Files, Delete, Website and About. As stated earlier, there are two ways to convert pages: by adding files or URLs. Batch conversion is also supported, which simply saves a lot of time. To convert existing files, simply click Add Files and then browse to your input directory. Apart from HTML, it also enables you to convert XHTML, HTM, XML and TXT items.

The Add URLs option is rather interesting and more useful. All you have to do select this option from the main window and then enter the URLs (one URL per line, as stated in the tool itself). Once you have added the URLs, click OK, followed by "Convert Now" to begin the process.

All in all, Weeny Free HTML To PDF Converter is an excellent software that does one thing and does it well. It works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Testing was carried out on Windows 8 Pro, 64-bit.

Weeny Free HTML to PDF Converter is, just as its name suggests, a tool for saving HTML files to the PDF format.

These can be local HTML files (as well as XML or plain text), or what web pages you like. And if you specify multiple files or URLs, the program can convert all of them in a single operation, leaving you with PDF files containing the same clickable links as the HTML originals (mostly, anyway).

And the conversion is carried out very simply, by a single executable installed as a part of the Weeny Free HTML to PDF Converter setup process. There's no extra printer driver installed, no other system components to clutter your PC.

Of course one advantage of the "virtual printer driver" approach taken by similar tools is that they work with just about any application, enabling you to convert almost any file type to PDF. While this one only works with HTML and basic text files.

Weeny Free HTML to PDF Converter does have one advantage over some of the competition, though, in its use of PDF bookmarks. If you try saving a complex URL, such as http://www.softwarecrew.com, for instance, the program will add bookmarks to various sections ("Most Popular Posts", "Latest Reviews", "Latest Comments" and so on), and you'll be able to jump to those directly with a click.

Verdict: There are more versatile and comprehensive PDF creators around, but Weeny Free HTML to PDF Converter is at least simple and straightforward, and it does make good use of your PDF bookmarks
