    I not recommend PrimoPDF, this have his mess with Open Candy spy/adware (explore you the .exe with 7-Zip and you’ll see), each time it generates the PDF, displayed their large advertisements and has so few functions…. (today that all office’s packages export as pdf)

    My major recommended is PDF24 (number 2, but should be Number One in this list)

    Hi there. I’m trying to find a PDF Printer that will properly PDF web pages while I am online. Right now, I’ve been using doPDF, after trying most of the others. NONE of the free PDF printers that I know of can PRINT background colors, background images, or the retain the actual structure of the original web page.

    Does somebody know of a PDF printer that will do this, free or paid? It has to be installable, I don’t want to use online.

    Thanks.

    Try ‘Print pages to PDF’ add-on for Firefox, that is very well valued!
    –Converting a webpage to Pdf
    –Retains links in the pdf from the content of webpages
    –Supports outline feature of pdf
    –The view of the result can be changed with differen options (Papersize, margins etc.)
    –The webpages can be pre-edited so that they contain only text or you can delete unwanted content from it (e.g advertising).

    The best PDF software is Foxit. Try it and tell me know.

    Here no talking about PDF readers or PDF creators of pay!!
    But in that case, PDF-Xchange is much better than Foxit
