As the number of people using the Internet to access information grows, so too does the need for efficient and reliable ways to store and share web pages. PDFs are becoming an increasingly popular format for storing and sharing web pages, as they are more efficient than traditional formats and can be easily shared online. PDFs have been around for a while, but their popularity has only grown in recent years due to their efficiency and convenience. They can be stored on a computer or device, and can be easily shared online. PDFs are perfect for storing large amounts of data, as they can hold up to 8GB of data per file. PDFs also offer a number of advantages over traditional formats when it comes to sharing web pages. For one, PDFs are easy to read and navigate, making them ideal for use on devices such as smartphones and tablets. PDFs also support multiple languages, making them easier to share with others around the world. Overall, PDFs are an increasingly popular format for storing and sharing web pages. They are efficient and easy to use, making them perfect for those who want to keep their information accessible online at all times.
How Saving PDFs Will Work
In the current A/B test effort, Microsoft will make saving PDFs as simple as right-clicking a web page and choosing “Save as PDF.” It takes a needlessly complicated process and makes it happen with a couple of clicks. These are the kinds of changes that we love to see. The change was first spotted by a Reddit user and reported by OnMSTF.
Currently, to save a web page as a PDF in Microsoft Edge, you have to use the Print interface. It’s not the most complicated process, but it does feel like it requires an unnecessary amount of time to make something so simple happen.
How to Access the New PDF Saving Feature Now
As mentioned, this feature is currently in the testing phase at Microsoft, so it won’t be available in the release build of Edge. Instead, you’ll need to download the Canary release of Edge (version 94.0.974.0). This is the version that’s uploaded daily, so it may not be stable.
Once you have that version of the browser, you’ll need to head to Settings. From there, go to the Appearance section and click the “Show Save as PDF in Context Menu” toggle to turn on the new feature. From there, you can go to any web page in Edge, right-click, and select “Save as PDF” from the context menu.
Hopefully, this feature comes to the Edge release build, as it’s one of those upgrades that makes sense. Only time will tell if it actually happens, of course.
