I have a bunch of bookmarks to different recipes on the web, recently I discovered some of the older ones have broken links. Does anyone know how to save a web page as a pdf so I can have a copy permanently? I've tried screen shots, but you sometimes need multiple shots if the page is larger than one "view".

    If you use Chrome Browser you can easily save any page as a PDF

    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    Also check out a few free PDF programs.
    Cute PDF is one.

    I use Blue Beam, but it is not free.

    On Mac OS, with Safari, Firefox or Chrome, select Print and then click PDF.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    It takes a little more work, but I copy and paste the information into Microsoft Word. It preserves the active, clickable links. This way I can remove or add notes as needed, resize the images and such. From Word it can then be saved to pdf as well. 
    Thank you,

    If you have Adobe X Pro, then there should be an Adobe Toolbar in IE 11.  You can convert to a pdf right from the toolbar...tends to do a little better job than "printing" to a pdf.  Also has the options to select all, or just the components of the page that you want.

    Try Evernote. It has a web clipping function, it will even clip "simplified articles" from webpages without the ads and sidebars. Once clipped you can title the notes and add tags. Searching for a note is very easy, it will even find words in photos.

    I found it, I had to enable add-ons and now it shows up, thanks.

    @photo egg and @abpgwolf good ideas, that may come in very handy

    Thanks again all
