You simply get a snapshot of a saved HTML page in a PDF viewer, give or take a few a few re-formatting touches here and there.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you can actually get better PDF quality by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/howto\/27882\/create-an-ebook-or-pdf-from-wikipedia-articles-for-offline-reading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\">converting Wikipedia articles with the Print\/export feature<\/a>\u00a0that creates PDFs from <a title=\"Wikipedia\" href=\"https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Wikipedia<\/a> articles and <a title=\"WikiBooks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wikibooks.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">WikiBooks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now you may be thinking that converting an HTML page into PDF is nothing new. It\u2019s something you can do with any HTML to PDF conversion software\u00a0out there. However, what sticks out about this feature\u00a0is that the PDF conversion is especially\u00a0made for Wikipedia articles.<\/p>\n<p><!-- s9ymdb:65 --><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1125 size-full\" title=\"WikiType\" src=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/WikiType.png\" alt=\"WikiType\" width=\"215\" height=\"169\" \/>This means you get a clean re-formatted PDF without the webpage formatting you get in your browser and, then in your PDF via conversion. Web page elements like side menus, edit links, banners and bulleted links, get neatly reformatted or eliminated to give you a document-like appearance for your PDF.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a Wikipedia article in proper PDF appearance, simply click on the Print\/export link in the lefthand side, copy the URL of the wiki page, paste it into the interface and submit. The generated PDF will be set up with an official title page, a properly formatted table of contents, professional headers and footers, PDF bookmarks and page numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Be warned though that included in your PDF is a 5 page GNU documentation license at the end of the article and a single GNU publication page at the beginning (after the title page). You\u2019ll end up with a few extra pages you didn\u2019t expect. Other than that, WikiType comes in handy for reading those Wiki documents offline in a readable format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re a Wikipedia user who\u2019s tried to save an article in the PDF format, then you know that the results aren\u2019t too great.
