Convert web pages to PDF for printing/saving in Chrome and Firefox
Some time ago I came across a handy extension available for Chrome and Firefox called Print Friendly & PDF. You can use this extension to generate PDF files from web pages that can be used to either print or save the web page as a PDF file. However, I have noticed that the extension doesn't work exactly the same in both browsers.
For example, when converting the scls.info home page in Chrome, the extension only picked up the one visible slide at the time that I did the conversion.
I then switched to Firefox, and found that in Firefox, the extension captured all of the slides in the slideshow in one PDF file.
You can find these extensions in Chrome by going to the upper-right hand corner menu and going to More Tools>Extensions, and then searching the Chrome Web Store. In Firefox, go to the upper right-hand corner menu and choose Add-ons.
Given that the extension works differently in different browsers, I think it's a good rule of thumb to keep your options open when using browsers. If something doesn't look right or work well in one browser, try another browser.
