Saving a web page as a PDF offers several advantages. For example, after you save a webpage to a local place, you can access it offline.

Also, when you have a PDF of a webpage, you can leave notes on some content that you want to highlight.
Besides, the web pages may be changed over time. If you have a copy of the old version on your computer, you can still access the previous content exactly. What’s more, you can archive the downloaded web pages in terms of your preferences on your computer such as archiving by dates.
If you want to save an entire web page as a PDF on Chrome, you can take advantage of the MultCloud new-released Google extension, “Save Webpage as PDF”.
