Because I want to convert the Web page into a text version of the PDF for comments, highlighting, and so on, I tried a lot of methods, is summarized in this:
(1) Virtual printing, such as Adobe, Foxit Reader, generates PDF:
This is the first thing I think of, but the print is the image version of the PDF, not editable and annotated, in fact, virtual printing I had expected that is not a text version of the PDF is a great possibility.
(2) Save the page as PDF:
This is slightly different depending on the browser and operating system, but it's very similar. It's really a text-only PDF, but for pages with a lot of mathematical formulas (Wikipedia), the resulting PDF effect and its bad, basically the formula is hanging out, in the PDF is a vacant area. I noticed, however, that the chart was fairly well-formed in the generated PDF, showing normal, slightly lower resolution. This method, it seems that the general text + ordinary pictures of the page is enough, such as Wikipedia, such as web-related formulas should be made with a latex-like engine, so the normal image generation success, and it (formula) is not.
(3) HTML online conversion PDF:
I tried several search engines in front of the site, either header footer Advertising (text version of the hyperlink), or the Math formula processing is not perfect (I used www.htmlpdf.com, the formula did not succeed, there is mosaic)
PS:www.htmlpdf.com This site is still good ~, the production speed, the effect also can be, there is no promotion of the header footer of ads, no software ~ ~ ~
(4) Adobe Acrobat:
I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to create a PDF (created with a Web page link). With the default settings, in my example (Wikipedia), there are some problems:
i) the picture's formula is too large, the vector text is too small, this can be in the Acrobat software: in the HTML before the creation of the advanced settings of the text by adjusting the relevant properties of the word to solve.
PS: There is no preview function here, "Preview" is only visible in the final decision to not the effect of the PDF, the text adjustment size can only be felt stone across the river, and this general default is, I tried, this adjustment is only the size of the adjustment acrobatic it to determine the part, And what we think is not the same thing, if the hasty adjustment, may appear uneven text effect!!! At this point, or www.htmlpdf.com the effect of this site is good!!
2) the header and footer of each page of the PDF will give the "source page" of the "text" hyperlink, this effect and (3) in some of the software to give promotional text links, this can also be set in Acrobat Advanced settings!!
