However, capturing screenshots from web pages can be challenging because we often need to capture the whole page. The best solution, in this case, is to use a third-party tool to take screenshots while browsing the Internet. No browser offers users the option to save screenshots as PDF by default. But if you’re using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, you can go to their extension store and install an extension that does just that. Quick Tip Some lines of work require that you take screenshots of websites daily, so arranging your system to do that as smoothly as possible can be a lifesaver. One way you can do this is to switch to a better browser, such as Opera. It is both lightweight and fast, but the most important aspect is just how customizable it is, and how easily you can integrate various services into it. More so, it comes with plenty of built-in features, such as Snapshot, a dedicated tool that allows you to take screenshots of your web pages, edit them, and share them with ease. This also works with Opera’s integrated messengers, so sending screenshots straight to Facebook or WhatsApp has never been easier.
