2 Ways to Save a Webpage as PDF on Mac Chrome
Method 1: Use a Keyboard Shortcut
Saving a webpage as PDF is an easy process that will take less than a minute of your time. In return, you can download the web page to view it offline or print it.
Step 1: Launch Google Chrome and open a webpage.
Step 2: Press “Command” + “P.” A pop up will appear with print options.
Step 3: In the “Destination” field, select PDF.
Step 4: Under “Pages,” select “All.” Selecting this option will allow you to export all pages from the website as PDFs.
Step 5: Choose “Save.”
Now you have a PDF document of the website you want. But there is another way to do it.
Method 2: Use Chrome’s Print Feature
This method is very similar to the first one. Instead of using “Command” + “P,” you will use the three vertical dots in Chrome. Let me show you how.
Launch Chrome and open a webpage. Click on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner and choose “Print.”
Then follow the steps 3-5 from the previous method.
As you can see, the process is identical, but instead of using the keyboard shortcut for printing a website, you do it via Chrome Settings.
