As a follow-up to my earlier post on generating PDF documents, my colleague Derek Murdoch at SCCHS brought another solution to my attention. PDFmyURL.com specializes in creating a PDF document out of any web page. Simply copy the URL (web address) of any page you are viewing and paste into the PDFmyURL.com web site. It very quickly generates a PDF file and prompts the user to download the result.
My cursory experimentation with the site showed some odd formatting of headings, but the body text of the web page formatted quite nicely. A utility like this is especially useful when dealing with dynamic web content that can change from day to day. In these instances, sending someone the URL can prove futile because they will not see the same content you did when you visited the site.
Thanks, Derek, for that tip.
