Sometimes you read some articles on the internet and wish to have it on a hard copy, but this is something you have to figure out yourself on how you could get that achieved within some seconds instead of printing it out on paper you can just get it in form of pdf all cleaned out. Is this that easy?

Of course getting text out of the webpage might require you copy some text directly from a web page to a text editor like Microsoft word; But in this case what we have to do is to make use of a particular tool that can help you extract the content of the page and get you the actual text and photos or images within the page.

Let’s try one of my favorite tool called “Print Friendly”. Printfriendly is a bookmarklet script written as JavaScript that helps you to extract the content of a page with just a click. All you have to do is to visit the website drag and drop the bookmarklet tool to your bookmark area of your browser and you can start working with it immediately.

I Find this tool very useful for me on daily basis especially when I want to get some text out as fast as possible to work with it later.
