Topic: How to Convert Web-page into a PDF File

In the past I had install an addon like pdfit to either Firefox or Chrome that enabled me to convert a webpage to pdf...until I found this:

It works wonders with Crunchbang: ctrl + P and voila' ! You have the option (foomatic?) to print to pdf. A PDF folder is created in your home directory where the pdf's are dropped. Got to like the simplicity. smile

Listen to me! When you die in Alaska you die in real life!

Don't expect a faithful reproduction every time with this method.

Sometimes, depending on how a page is formatted (panes seem to be a major factor) you may only get a single page printed.  (You'd get similar results with a real printer's output.)  In these cases, Midori is usually a great fallback; I've never failed to print a full document from Midori.  It doesn't always display pages the same as Iceweasel though.
