IE8 PDF Toolbar

[SimonF]

Hi. I believe there is a way you can save web pages as a PDF. I have opened a PDF document in IE8 and hit F8 and this brings up a toolbar but it then disappears when I close that tab. Is there a way that I can retain the toolbar please?

Many thanks

PDF is a document format. You have to use a document program that supports saving as PDF. Even then you can't save a web page as PDF unless you copy the contents into the document.

Thanks very much for the post - didn't think anyone was going to reply. Anyway, I understood there was an Adobe toolbar - maybe I am wrong. However, and I am loathe to disagree with your post as I am very lacking in technical skills, I have found a way of saving as a PDF without copying and pasting. Cute PDF ... just say you want to print the web page, select Cute PDF from the list of printers and Bob's your uncle, saved as a PDF. Hope this helps somebody.

That would do it as it is a pdf creator. I never used it but it has been around awhile.

Thanks for the information Simon.

Hi Guys

I just want to say that I use Cute PDF as well and it can save any windows application as a PDF document.

I find it especially useful when it comes to emailing attachments, you see MS applications, when saving a data file (like a word processing file), will copy your registration and file amendment details and store them in your saved document. These details will become visible to your email recipient, whether you want them to or not, depending on the email application the recipient is using.

So, after saving my data files I re-save them, using Cute PDF, and then use the resulting PDF documents as my email attachments, i.e all that background data saved by windows applications are not reproduced so your email recipient gets the info you intended and nothing else.
