Want to save a PDF of a website or article on your iPhone or iPad to read later? Here are a couple of ways you can do just that!

It's handy to save websites and articles as PDFs so you can read them later. Here's how you can quickly generate a PDF on your iPhone or iPad, and then save it with a service like Pocket .

In iOS 13 , iPadOS 13, and newer, you can take a full-page screenshot of a website in Safari and save it as a PDF in the Files app.

There are two notable points about this new method:

• The PDF generates as one continuous page without any page breaks.
• Instead of a regular PDF, with an A4 page width, the PDF is the same width as the iPhone or iPad on which you're viewing it.

If you want to generate a cleaner PDF of the page---without the ads and formatting---switch to  Reader Mode  first. To do this, tap and hold "AA" in the upper-left corner, and then tap it again to customize the text layout.

Open the website on your iPhone or iPad and  take a screenshot . If you have an iPhone X-style device with a notch, or an iPad Pro with Face ID, press and hold the "Side" and "Volume Up" buttons together until you see the screenshot animation.

If you're using an iPhone or iPad with a Home button, press it, along with the "Power/Sleep" button to take a screenshot.

You see a little screenshot preview in the bottom-left corner---tap it.

You're now in the screenshot editor. Tap "Full Page."

Now, the whole page appears. You can use the scrollbar at the right edge of the screen to navigate. Because you're in the screenshot editing screen, the entire annotation suite is available to you. You can doodle over the PDF or use arrows to highlight sections.

You can either save the PDF to the Files app or export it to any app of your choice. To save it to the Files app, tap "Done."

In the popup, tap "Save PDF to Files."

Next, select the location in which you want to save the PDF; you can choose the local drive, external storage , or a cloud storage account. After you select the location, tap "Save."

If you want to send the PDF to an app---as an attachment in the Mail or Books apps, for example---tap the Share button (the box with an upward-pointing arrow). Select the app to which you want to send the PDF.

If you prefer a more traditional method to save a website as a PDF, you can find it in the Share Sheet. This method creates the familiar, paginated PDF in the A4 size.

In iOS 13, iPadOS 13, and above, a new option allows you to choose between a regular PDF and a Reader PDF.

Open the page in Safari and tap the Share button.

At the top of the Share Sheet, you see the title of the page; just below it, tap "Options."

If necessary, switch to the "Reader PDF" option to create a stripped-down version of the webpage. If you plan to read a long article on your iPad, this is the best option.

After you select the PDF option you want, tap "Done."

You now return to the Share Sheet. Here, tap "Save to Files."

Next, select the output folder, and then tap "Save."

You can now go to the Files app and tap the file to preview it. Tap the "Share" button to open the PDF in the Apple Books app or a third-party PDF reader.

If you use a third-party browser, you don't have the same PDF creation options you do in Safari. However, you can use a shortcut called "Make PDF." This shortcut creates a PDF using a URL from any app.

Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone or iPad and tap "Gallery."

Here, tap the "Search" field, and then type, "Make PDF."

Tap the plus sign (+) next to the "Make PDF" option.

Tap "Add Shortcut."

The shortcut is added to your Gallery, and it appears directly in the Share Sheet if your device runs iOS 13, iPadOS 13, or above. If your device runs iOS 12 or below, tap "Run Shortcut" in the actions bar to access the shortcut.

Go to a website, and then tap the Share button.

In the Share Sheet, scroll down and tap "Make PDF."

You see the shortcut working. After the PDF generates, you see a preview of it. Tap the Share button.

Choose "Save to Files" to save the PDF to an iCloud Drive or local storage. You can also choose an action, like "Copy to Books," to open the PDF directly in the Apple Books app. If you have a third-party PDF reader, you can select it.

If your iPhone or iPad runs iOS 12, you can use the Create PDF action to convert a website into a PDF.

Next, go to the Actions list (the second horizontally scrolling list) and tap "Create PDF."

You now see the PDF preview---scroll to view the entire page, and then tap "Done."

If you want to share the PDF to a particular app, tap the Share button to open the Share Sheet. In the popup, tap "Save File To."

Now, select the location where you want to save the file, and then tap "Add."

The PDF is now in the location you specified. Open the Files app, and then tap the file to open or share it.

How to save a webpage as a PDF in Apple Safari (without the ads)

How many times have you come across a webpage and wanted to be able to read it in a form that's not digital? I know it sounds almost like heresy in this digital age, but sometimes you just need to step away from the screen and go full-on analog with a paper printout.

Or, maybe you need a particular article for research and want to be able to highlight certain passages or turn the article in with a term paper. Maybe you're collecting different webpages for an assignment and want to keep them located in a single folder for later perusal. You never know if a site or page will be taken down at any point, and having a PDF copy of that page will ensure you always have access to the content.

There are several reasons why you might want to save a webpage as a PDF file. With Apple Safari, there's a very handy way of doing so. However, I'm going to one-up the default process and make it such that the PDF you save only has the information you want -- not the ads and other bits of the site that serve as distractions for the real content.

Does this sound intriguing? Read on.

How to save a webpage as a PDF (without the extra "fluff")

What you'll need: The only thing you'll need for this is the Safari web browser. I'll demonstrate this on the MacOS version of Safari. I would recommend you be certain you're using the most recent version of Safari (as it's always a good idea to keep all of your software up to date).

1. Open the page in question

Open Safari (which you've probably already done since you're reading this). 

Also: How to automatically enable reading mode for specific sites in MacOS Safari

Then, navigate to the page you want to save.

2. Open the page in Reader mode

This is the trick I mentioned earlier. Before you save the page as a PDF, you want to get rid of all the "extras" (such as ads and other bits you won't want). To do that, look for the Reader mode icon at the left edge of the address bar and click it. This will immediately re-open the page in Reader mode, where things are decidedly easier to read.

3. Save the page as a PDF

Now that you have the page open in Reader mode, the only thing that will be saved to the PDF file is what you see on the screen. Click the File menu entry in the Menu Bar and click Export as PDF.

You can share or save the webpage in question.

4. Name your PDF

When the Export popup opens, navigate to the folder that will house the file, give the file a name (or accept the default name -- which is the title of the webpage), and click Save. 

Also: How to deny websites access to your location in Safari

Your PDF will save in the folder you selected. 

You can save your PDF file anywhere you like (as long as your user has access to the folder).

You now have a PDF copy of the webpage, as seen through the lens of Reader mode. By saving the page as such, you not only make it easier to read but also save considerably on printer ink. That's a win for everyone involved (even the environment).

How to Save a Web Page as a PDF on an iPhone

Occasionally you might have a need to access a Web page when you are offline, or if the page might change in the future.

One of the ways that you can accomplish this is by learning how to save a Web page as a PDF on an iPhone.

That file will then be saved to your device, much like many other types of files that you might need to access or share in the future.

How to Save a Web Page as a PDF in iBooks in iOS 9

• Open the Safari Web browser.
• Browse to the page that you wish to save.
• Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen.

Our guide continues below with additional information on how to save a web page as a PDF on an iPhone, including pictures of these steps.

Many of the apps and features on your iPhone require an Internet connection to work as intended.

The Safari browser is one of those apps, which can make it nearly impossible to read an article that you find on a website if you aren’t connected to the Internet.

One way to get around this, however, is to save a Web page as a PDF while you have an Internet connection so that you can read it later when that Internet connection is not available.

This is a great way to give yourself some reading material before a plane flight, and it involves functionality that is part of iOS 9.3 by default.

How to Save a Web Page to iBooks in Safari (Guide with Pictures)

The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 6 in iOS 9.

Step 1: Tap the Safari icon.

Step 2: Find the Web page that you want to save as a PDF.

Step 3: Tap the Share icon (the one that looks like a square with an arrow) at the bottom of the screen.

If you don’t see the menu, then swipe down on the Web page until it appears.

Step 4: Swipe left on the top row of icons, then tap the Save PDF to iBooks option.

This will open the iBooks app, where you will see an entry for the PDF that you just created. The PDF is saved locally, so you can even view it somewhere that you don’t have an Internet connection, such as a plane.

Now that you know how to save a Web page as a PDF on your iPhone, you can start to save files of certain Web pages that you might need to use or read in the future.

Note that some elements of the Web page may not save exactly as they appear on your iPhone screen. Additionally, the PDF that is created this way will not have any clickable (or tappable) links.

The Share menu in Safari offers a number of helpful tools for saving and sharing Web pages from your iPhone. For example, learn how to save a Web page to the Notes app if you would prefer that option over the PDF in iBooks.

Safari Save Page as PDF: 3 Proven Methods

Audrey Goodwin

Pdfelement-powerful and simple pdf editor.

Get started with the easiest way to manage PDFs with PDFelement!

There are plenty of times when you'd wish a webpage's content was viewable offline. But did you know that you can actually do that? You can do so by downloading the webpage as a PDF. Fortunately, Mac's default browser, Safari, allows you to do this for free. You don't even need to install anything; you already have access to the Safari save page as PDF feature.

This article will help you discover 3 ways to save pages as PDFs using Safari's built-in features. Also, you will find how to edit the downloaded PDF.

In this article

Part 1. 3 ways to save safari pages as pdfs.

Here are 3 effective ways to save webpages as PDFs using Safari.

Method 1. Export the Page as a PDF

Suppose you want to save the page exactly the way it looks on Safari. You want to include the buttons, the menu bars, and reading suggestions. Using the Export as PDF option allows you to do that. However, please note that this method also includes the ads currently displayed on the webpage.

Furthermore, please keep in mind that the PDF may not be a carbon copy of the webpage. There may be some slight changes in the formatting.

With that out of the way, here is how you do it:

• Open the webpage that you want to save on Safari.
• Click File on the top toolbar.
• Select Export as PDF.

• Name the PDF and select a destination folder on the pop-up window.
• Click Save.

Why Use This Method?

• It lets you include all the elements in the webpage.

Why Avoid This Method?

• It includes even the ads.

Method 2. Use the Print Option

What if you want to include only certain parts of the webpage in the PDF?

You can also do that using the Print option. This option is great because it allows you to customize how the PDF looks. You can include or exclude the background, which will help you save ink if you plan on printing the PDF. Additionally, you can remove headers and footers.

Here is how to use this feature to save a webpage as a PDF on Safari:

• Open Safari and visit the webpage that you want to save as a PDF.
• Click File.
• Select Print.
• The Print window will appear. Check the pages on the Page Preview to select the ones you want to save. Specify it on the Pages option.

• Optionally, edit the other options. You can change the paper size and orientation and choose to or not include headers, footers, and the background.
• Click PDF on the bottom left and select Save as PDF.
• Choose the file destination and name the PDF.
• It allows you to customize the PDF.
• It requires you to do more things compared to the other methods. Thus, it is not ideal when time is a luxury.

Method 3. Save the Webpage as PDF Without the Distractions

There is another method that lets you save the webpage as a PDF without changing the way it looks. Unlike Method 1, this one allows you to remove clutter on the webpage. It excludes buttons, menu bars, other interactive elements, and, most importantly, ads. You can do it by utilizing the Reader View.

Follow these steps to do this:

• Open the webpage that you want to save with Safari.
• Click View > Show Reader. Alternatively, click the Reader View button on the left of the address bar.

• The Reader View removes the ads and the buttons from the webpage. Click File > Export as PDF to save it.
• Name the file and select a destination folder.
• It removes the ads.
• It also removes the interactive elements.

Part 2. How To Save Safari Pages as PDFs on iPhone Using Scrolling Screenshots

Safari is also available on iPhones. Expectedly, and unfortunately, the mobile version of the browser is not as powerful as the Mac version. So you don't have access to the features mentioned above.

But not all hope is lost. The thing is that iPhones allow you to take scrolling screenshots. It allows you to create a screenshot that covers the whole webpage. You can save this screenshot as an image, or you can choose to save it as a PDF instead. With this, you also don't have to install extra apps on your iPhone to save a webpage as a PDF.

Follow these steps to accomplish this:

• Launch Safari on your iPhone and navigate to the webpage that you want to save as a PDF.
• Simultaneously press the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons to capture a screenshot. Suppose your iPhone does not have a Home button, press the Power button along with the Volume Up button instead.
• A preview of the screenshot will appear at the bottom left of the screen. It will stay on the screen for 5 seconds. Click this to open the Instant Markup interface.
• Tap Full Page on the top right of the interface.
• Tap Done on the top right left of the screen.
• Select Save PDF to Files on the pop-up menu.

Part 3. Edit the Exported PDF Pages With Wondershare PDFelement

A number of great PDF editors spring to mind. One of them is Wondershare PDFelement , one of the leading editors in the industry. It offers plenty of amazing features, including ones powered by AI!

Once finished creating the resume, you can print it out, save it as a Pages file, save it as a DOCX file, save it as a PDF , or whatever else you’d like to do with it.

Whether you’re hunting for a job, getting ready to apply for a first job, or preparing to get back into the job market, having a nice, easy to read, and professional looking resume can make a difference. There’s no need to be intimidated by creating a resume, with the Resume Pages template, you can simply just plug in your resume information, and you’ll be finished in no time.

Looking beyond resumes, the entire iWork suite is fantastic, and each of the office suite apps offers handy templates for all sorts of personal and life tasks, whether you’re making a resume like we discuss here, setting up a budget spreadsheet , using a net worth tracker , creating a picture book, or so much more.
