Joliprint - A cool tool for creating PDFs from web articles

This is a really useful tool I found to create PDFs instantly from website articles. For my studies I have often found that interesting articles on technology are written on the blogs or websites of ed tech movers and shakers and are only available to save as a web page. Although I know that there are tools to annotate these pages I want to save them as PDFs and use Preview on my mac to highlight and make notes. I'm not sure how I stumbled across it, but somehow Joliprint found its way on to my radar and I have since used it a number of times, so I thought I'd share.


I know that when teaching I have sometimes wanted to use an article from a website and have copied and pasted it into Word, played around with it until it looked nice, perhaps copied a picture or two over as well, which all takes a while to do. Using Joliprint, however, makes it something that can be done in an instant. I've tried to give a quick summary of how it works in this Jing screen capture, but hey, I'm no Russell Stannard, so it's only a quickie.


I hope you find it useful.
