Have you ever wanted to print an article from
a blog or a website, but wished you could do it without printing all of the ads
and widgets in the side columns? Or perhaps when reading online, you find all of the clutter distracting and wish you could just have a clean, easy-to-read page? PrintFriendly is the tool for you. Simply copy and paste the URL of the article or post that you want to print into the PrintFriendly site. You’ll get an editable version of the page that lets you delete images, resize or change fonts, and delete specific pieces of text. This allows you to create the perfect document ready for printing. You can also email the document or download and save it as a PDF file.
PrintFriendly also offers the option to install a browser
bookmarklet. Once installed, the bookmarklet allows you to simply click a
button on your browser’s task bar whenever you’re on a site you want to print. Very handy!
