Default Saving website tutorials, patterns, etc., as a pdf

I don't know about you, but over the years, I've saved website links to tutorials and patterns that I thought I would need someday, only to find that when I go back to them, they are gone or have moved or are no longer valid links.

Not being too computer savvy, I have found a way to save the website items by saving as a pdf, and saving it to a file that I have created that would be easy to go back and find. (paperless - yay!) To do this, when you are in the website, try this:

(i.e.) http://thecraftymummy.com/2014/10/mini-spool-block/
click: File, Print
(I clicked on pages 2-9)
Instead of printing, click on the drop down menu, "PDF" and click on "Save as a PDF"
Save to the file you want to store it in.

If you are using a Mac, a new feature appeared in this last update of Yosemite, and you can save it in iBooks. It even shows a picture of the first page you are saving, which makes it easy to find the pattern you are looking for. So nice!

Hope this helps!
