How To Save Webpage as PDF (Windows and Mac)

There are many at times you may visit some websites where you will find interesting information and would want to keep a copy so you can use it offline. This is not as easy as always because some websites take a lot of security measures to protect their contents.

However, there are several ways of copying information from a website. One is by taking a snapshot of it (especially with mobile sites), another is by right-clicking on the page and choosing the "Save as..." option to get the information. This method is not always successful because some websites deactivate "Right Clicking" on their sites.
