An update has been released by Kevin Wells to one of his newest applications, Web2PDF.
The purpose of the software is to convert web pages to PDF files, which can then be opened by any PDF reader you have available. It does this by sending the address of the page, using Wget, to a remote application programmer interface (API) provided by API Layer for the purpose, called Web Page to PDF.
The API then feeds back a PDF file which shows the contents of the web page, which can either be saved for later or ‘run’ – which on RISC OS means it will open your PDF viewer.
Version 1.01 of Kevin’s application has gained interactive help in all its supported languages, and now copes with characters such as spaces, hashes, and percentage signs in the URLs fed to it.
Please note that you will need to register with API Layer/Web Page to PDF in order to obtain a code (an API key) to feed into Web2PDF.
If you find any of Kevin’s software useful, why not consider rewarding him for it by buying some merchandise or with a small contribution.
