How to create a PDF file from a webpage?

How to turn webpages into pdf?

Do you know of any application that I can use so that I can emulate a printing of a webpage? I dont know if emulate is the correct term but here is what I want to do:

I want to print a table that is in a webpage. The problem is the default printing service of windows (print spooler) which saves the file as .xps. Do you know of any application that I can install or even a portable application that I can use so that it communicates with the web browser and creates a .pdf file of the webpage I want to print.

To remove parts of the page you might want to discard: see The Printliminator at http://css-tricks.com/examples/ThePrintliminator/

You can use PrintPDF firefox addon.
There are several more add-ons that do that.

PDFCreator is a great free PDF-Printer.

Having this portable won't be possible, since it needs to register itself as a printer.

There are several applications such as PDFCreator that mimic a printer, but actually churn out a PDF file. Also, if you just want to print part of a web page, select that part and pick Selection from the Print Range option in the Print dialog.

Have you tried Cute PDF? YTou can print the webpage to the Cute PDF printer and it will generate a PDF file. If i read your question correctly, that is what you are wanting to do.
