Default Capture Online Article/Document to WordPerfect

I am a woodworker and frequently come across articles or plans online that I would like to save to my hard drive. Currently, I cut-and-paste the article text and images to a WordPerfect document and then convert to PDF using the WordPerfect "Publish to" function.

Does anyone know of an easier way to do this?

I think I would still need the middle (WordPerfect) step to format the captured document (or a good PDF Editor). What would be ideal is a way to select text and images as one and then plunk it into the WP document for formatting.

Thanks,

Jim

How about printing to pdf direct from your browser using one of these :-

My personal favourite from that list is doPDF for it's simplicity.

I use PDFillPDF & Image Writer all of the time but the problem with printing an article to PDF this way is that there is no formatting and page breaks may occur right in the middle of an image, etc.

You might also want to try PrintWhatYouLike and then Web2PDF if those help.
