PDF Download is an all-in-one PDF toolkit for Firefox that just got even better.
It features a new "web to PDF" feature that enables you to send a web page as email attachment in PDF format. Alternatively, you can save the web page as PDF to your local drive.
Unlike other desktop based PDF writers, PDF Download will convert web pages to PDF online so you need not wait for the conversion to finish. The PDF will arrive in your inbox as soon as the conversion is complete.
There are no ads anywhere in the PDF file and conversion is more or less perfect. If you frequently send web pages to your own email account for reading later, you will find PDF Download particularly useful as it will send a copy in a single click without prompting your for an email address.
PDF Download - The PDF files may be printed in either Portrait or Landscape mode. The same add-in can also be used for converting web PDF files to HTML pages.

Amit, when I read the post I got damn excited as I save/print “transaction successful” type pages for reference later almost daily. I installed the addon but it just wont work with secure login websites, which is a real shame - I uninstalled it straight away!
CutePDF has always been the best tool for the job, simple, quick and tiny!

@Wezz - You’re right, the current release of PDF Download cannot handle PDF conversion of secure websites but it’s planned for the next release.
Here’s what NitroPDF has to say on including support for secure webpages - “Definetly planning to impliment this, however we have a number of security and privacy issues to deal with first. This would require sending the page content to our server, and we need to be careful that personal information (such as bank account details or credit card numbers) could not be intercepted by a 3rd party.”

“This would require sending the page content to our server.”
Exactly why I wouldn’t trust this type of system, it needs to be an offline PDF printing solution.
