A New Feature (in Beta) from The Wayback Machine

The Internet Archive
A New Feature (in Beta) from The Wayback Machine
In Beta is a new feature that allows you to take any archived page that you access via The Wayback Machine* and quickly convert the html web page into a pdf file. Here's how to get it working.
1) You Must Use the Advanced Interface
2) Enter the URL you're looking for but before hitting the search button, select the "Convert to PDF" option. It's the last option listed on the page.
3) Example: A search for archived pages from http://www.ifla.org
4) Located next to each entry, on the results page, you'll see a button labeled "PDF". Select the desired page and click. Now, enter your e-mail address and click convert. In a matter of minutes, a pdf of the selected web page will be sent as an attachment direct to your e-mail.
* The Wayback Machine, part of the Internet Archive, is a searchable archive of over 10 billion web pages back to 1996.
See Also: DocMorph and MyMorph
A free service from the National Library of Medicine that will convert many document types (it recognizes 50 formats) on your computer to a pdf document. Make sure to also take a look at a free desktop app called MyMorph. It makes converting docs even easier.
