5 Ways To Print HTML To PDF

28-11-2007

If you like to print any HTML page to PDF, you can use:

1. Save As option built into your browser (results sometimes are not well depending on browser)

2. Adobe Acrobat Professional to print your URL to PDF-file (not good result, broken page layout)

3. PrintScreen (click PrintScreen button)
- open any image editor, online or off-line and save it in any image format you like
- open printscreened image with Adobe Acrobat Professional and save it as PDF

4. Online HTML To PDF converters:
PDF Online (free demo) - prints files, URL's
HTML2PDF (service demo) - adds banner

5. Standalone PDF-editing programs
- Webgrabber
- IntraPDF

Please, note that Image-To-PDF conversion doesn't allow further text editing. Use for that OCR-function built into Adobe Acrobat.

For editing try PDF-online editor.

Dead Links Check

20-04-2007

Dead links check - is what SEO Specialist needs everytime for building or maintaining web site. You can write simple dead links checker based on PHP or use some online tool. But - is there a simple and fast software to check links in a seconds?

I made it in 1 minute, SEO Specialist. Download it and try as I did. Incredibly fast, free and thought out. No dead links on your site!

Just read:

"Xenu's Link Sleuth (TM) checks Web sites for broken links. Link verification is done on "normal" links, images, frames, plug-ins, backgrounds, local image maps, style sheets, scripts and java applets. It displays a continously updated list of URLs which you can sort by different criteria. A report can be produced at any time."

I love those fast things made by Germans.

Especially when they say '0 bad local link(s) reported'.

Global Ringtone For Us

10-02-2007

As for me, all music around - a noises from TVsets, traffic, mobilized publics - becomes like Global Ringtone call. A big fat sample of bothering noise. That global ringtone makes you mad. That call you anytime when you hear that be-be. From TV screen, from street.

To be heard SEO Specialist has to be geared with some secret weapon. For example, with podcasting. You record your dear clients interview, make mp3 and upload it as mp3's or RSS-data online.

But since you are to be original to be heard you think of originality of your soundtrack.

What is better of background track?

To get that original sound of SEO Specialist' podcast you, perhaps, can generate it yourself by any available sound editing programs.

But in case you have found nothing? Try sound search engine.
