When it’s about sharing documents you will find PDF as a godsend. The PDF files are the best
format for exchanging and transferring documents because of the compact size, compatibility on any computers and mobile devices (mobile phone & E book reader) and the best of all- formatting of the original document remain preserved in the output PDF file.
There are a couple of reasons why you want to convert web pages to PDF format. Best advantage in my opinion – PDF format avoid clutter in managing files. When you save a single webpage locally to your computer you get two separate files ( .html file and a folder) and its very irritating to manage them when you’ve to save large number of webpages to you computer. Secondly, original content and format (including text, table and even embedded images) is presented by PDF on any system or device with no exceptions. This makes PDF files a universal file format for sharing documents .
