I think many of you used to being confronted with saving webpage HTML document to PDF. In this post, I will show how to print HTML to PDF with three popular web browsers.
First of all, please download and install VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer from this webpage http://www.verypdf.com/pdfcamp/pdfcamp.htm . If your system is 32-bit, you can download the 32-bit version. If your system is 64-bit, there is an alternative 64-bit version available. After installing the application, you will get a virtual printer named “PDFcamp Printer” in your system printer list. Now let me show the simple usage of VeryPDF PDFcamp Printer.

Open a webpage, for example, the homepage of the application mentioned above, http://www.verypdf.com/pdfcamp/pdfcamp.htm, with your Internet Explorer in your Windows system. Then in the menu bar, select [File] –> [Print], as displayed in the following window snapshot.
