Save Web Pages as PDF Files on iPhone's Running iOS 13 and Later
In iOS 13 (and newer versions), it is necessary to use a different method to create PDF files from your browser than with older iOS versions. You can take a full-page screenshot of a website in Safari and save it as a PDF in the Files app. However this generates a PDF that will fit to the screen of your device and includes ads and website formatting. To get a cleaner PDF, follow these steps:- Firstly you need to make sure you're viewing the website in reader mode. To do this, tap and hold the aA in the top left hand corner:
- Next take a screenshot of that page and open it up. When you have opened the screenshot, select Full Page:
- You will now see the whole page appears and because you're in screenshot editing mode, the entire annotation suite is available to you. When you're finished editing (incase you want to add arrows, highlight sections etc) share it to any app of your choice by clicking on the share button (box with the arrow pointing up) or save it to files by clicking on Done:
- When you've clicked on Done, it will ask you to confirm where you want to save your PDF. Click on Save to Files:
