Save as PDF

I do this a lot, archiving web pages as PDF documents.
The way I do it is to paste the URL from Opera into IE
and copy & paste into an MS Word document.


The only reason why people continue to use IE are two-fold:

(1) Online banking web sites are mostly designed for IE,
Firefox to a lesser extent.
(2) IE is tightly integrated with Microsoft's products. IE
is the only browser that preserves formatting when you
copy & paste into MS Word.

Having said all of that, Opera can turn IE's strength into
a liability by incorporating a feature to save a web
page as a PDF file -- in effect, removing the need to work
with MS Word.

Adobe suite lets you print to pdf from any program so you may already have a pdf printer. I have also used PDFCreator which is free.

Saving pages as a single file web archive is pretty useful also and Opera can already do this. Web archives will open in IE so they will probably also open in Word if you need that.



There is no point in having the single file web archive. The formatting often gets messed up depending on which browser[version] you use to view it.
