Easy way to save your Web Tutes
 

While web surfing recently, I discovered a wonderful web link that will turn web pages into PDF documents that you can save to your computer. Oh joy oh joy. Now all of the web links that I have saved in my favorites of tutes that I wanted to keep can now be changed into pdfs so that I can save them to my computer and disk storage. I am sew happy.:thumbup:

Before this discovery, I was copying and pasting in Word or bookmarking tutes I wanted to keep. But after getting a bad computer virus and the ensuing cleaning, I lost all of my links. Now I am going through the process of converting tutes I have bookmarked currently. I hope you find the link as helpful as I do.

The web link is called joliprint.

WOW... super idea... I think this is a project for our son-in-law, a computer geek...I will have him look in to this for me..Do you have a plan for storing your disks?

joliprint is simple to use. you just copy the weblink of the tute you want to turn into a PDF file into joliprint.com and click a button. i save all of my files to a cd backup now since i was infected by a computer virus and lost everything.

I convert to pdf and store all my files online (cloud). I use cute pdf program. It's free and completely safe. I can download the saved to any computer anywhere, when I need them. No space wasted on my computer. There are many free online sites that save small to very large docs or pdfs. I always send all my digital photos to be saved online. They are all there safe if anything happens to my computer. The pictures I take with my phone are automatically saved online. I let Google keep all my bookmarks. I can access those from any computer. I can log on to any computer and feel like it's mine. All my stuff is right there.

this is handy, I like it a lot!!!!

bellaboo this link would probably work best for those of use who like to save copies of the webpage tutes. i know i like to have copies in hand available when i am making the projects and there are just some quilt patterns i want to save for later use.

i know there is numerous online storage options available but for those who want to "keep" them handy without being in front of their computer, this link provides that option. i have many quilt patterns saved to cd discs that i can access regularly when i am looking for patterns. i have found it works for me that way.

it's wonderful that there are so many options available for one's individual tastes.

I just tried it, takes a little time, but worth it!

Thanks, Mary! Love it!

Great link and resource! Thanks for sharing.

My only concern is that it can access all of your activity on the net.

Thanks, I'm going to check that out.

I also got an external plug-in drive 320GB at Walmart ($65) and I put stuff to save on it (embroidery patterns, etc). It also helps to keep my computer cleaner -- - - hah, to collect more????? I downloaded this program though, and will give it a try! :-)

It's a wonderful idea. I sent the link on to my daughter who is crafter and uses a lot of the on-line tutorials.

Also, if I don't want to save the whole thing right now - or it is a site I want to go back to, I have a Word page on my desktop where I can copy the link (or the short url) and paste it into the Word document along with any notes I want to remember about it. The only problem you can run in there is if you go back and the site is closed - - but that very seldom ever happens. Example: *Clipart – MS Office images - http://x61.ch/7c86aa.

I use 16GB USB's to store files and I can take them with me and use on any PC computer.

Wow, I love this idea, but have know idea how to do it, didn't know sites like this were around, my how fast technology changes. Thank u for sharing

LOVE this application!!

Great Link. Thanks

thanks for the information

Excellent link. Just tried it, and it was as easy as pie! Thanks sew much!

That's a great idea, but I store mine on a board on Pinterest. No converting anything, and I get a photo to help me find the one I want. But this is a great way, too.

Microsoft has a free PDF writer. It turns anything you can print into a PDF. It works in the print command and i like the fact that my info isn't out there on the web.

I tried joliprint, from this page I clicked on it, on my favorites memory. I got a message "out of memory on line 44". I tried it a couple of times with the same result.

that happened to me a couple of times but it still turned my webpage into a pdf. just click on the ok when you get that message and your pdf should still come up.

I tried it again today, I finally got it to work by hitting "ctrl" key before I clicked on joliprint in my favorites menu. It worked on one out of four pages. On the other pages it left a message to wait for the web page to load. The web page was done loading according to my status bar, other than pop-ups, so apparently it will not work on sites that are continually attempting to load stuff.

It's a great idea. One of these days I'll get rid of IE and I won't have so many difficulties.

So BellaBoo where do and how do you store your pdf files? What pdf program r u using? How do you get Google to keep all your book marks? I am lacking in all this computer knowledge and this would be helpful to me. Thank bunches, KTDID49

It's fabulous! THANK YOU so much for sharing!!!!!
