Converting Websites to PDF

I was reading one of my teaching blogs (I have no idea which one!) the other day and came across a post on converting websites to PDFs. My web browser is Firefox - so I tested out one of the add-ons called "Print Pages to PDF." It worked!

 This is a great resource for saving patterns that are posted on blogs. So if you have a few patterns you like, you can convert the webpage into a PDF. Here's how I did it in Mozilla Firefox.
 1. Search "print pages to PDF" and you'll see "Print pages to PDF: Add-ons to Firefox..."

 Click on that.




2. This will come up. Click on the green "Add to Firefox" bottom to add this.












3. Right click on the blog page and a pop-up will appear. Click on "Print pages to PDF" then "Print active Tab." 

 The webpage will be converted into a PDF!

One thing to note...please respect the blogger who posted the pattern! 









UPDATE: A reader posted the following website that also converts to PDF:
