How do you mark the internet as "finished"?

Alexander,

That’s what I’m looking for. Unfortunately, it’s a Chrome extension and I use Firefox or IE to capture articles. I like to convert webpages to PDF’s. This can be done by printing the webpage to PDF in any browser but the results are inconsistent (some pages won’t print at all while others have jumbled text, etc).

For Internet Explorer I use a “Convert” add-on that came with my Adobe Pro software. It does an excellent job of capturing pages just as they appear online.

Recently, I found something I like even better: a Firefox add-on called “Print Pages to PDF”. It’s not quite as consistent as the IE add-on but I really like the job it does in automatically naming the files, which saves a step. It displays a list of recent captures in a sidebar but doesn’t tell you if you’re capturing a duplicates (it creates a second copy with a suffix).

I haven’t found a Chrome add-on that does a similar job with pdf’s. If I could find one, that would solve the problem—or if I could find a Firefox add-on as good as Note Anywhere.

I guess a browser add-on is the only thing that’s going to work but it’s not ideal because there seems to be a rapid turnover in add-ons. They stop being supported then stop working with browser updates.
