How to save a great post to PDF

Scott Ames · 10-11-2009, 06:12 PM

Every once in a while I want to save a great post to PDF for keeping and reading later. Sure the WarriorForum will still have it, but this makes it stand out as really important to me.

Here's what I do.

1. Click "Thread Tools" top line of the first post of the thread
2. Click "Show Printable Version". It's showing a VBulletin logo instead of Warrior forum..oh well.
3. I have Primo PDF installed as a printer, but here are tons of similar things out there. Just print it to the PDF creator and save.

You end up with a clean copy of the thread that you can read anytime.

Thanks for that tip, Scott. I had not noticed you could do that. I tend to be kind of picky with saving threads, so I usually pull the posts I find most relevant, paste them into Open Office Writer, then export as a PDF. Sometimes I combine threads of a similar topic. I save the HTML files sometimes, too, though. If you do that, you can easily click to see if there are new entries.
