    I also would love to know how to create PDF from website or anywhere in iPad. I normally pay for bills online and then create PDF files for records. Creating PDF has been the best way of keeping records for the past 10 years. However I cannot find a way to do it in the iPad, and it really bothers me.

    Not perfect but try this

    javascriptdf_url=location.href;location.href='http://pdfmyurl.com?url='+escape(pdf_url)

    Add that as a bookmark to your web browser

    When at the page you want to convert to as a pdf, open the bookmark menu and select that link, it will then create a pdf, once done, click the page, and then select open in ibook

    You will then see a pdf of that web page, if the webpage is long, the pdf will have numerous pages

    I use an App called WebToolBox+ which saves a webpage to a pdf file and displays it in safari. Then I go to the http address line and insert a g in front of http and the PDF file is opened in goodreader.

    I do think it executes a JavaScript script similar to the one mentioned above, or even exactly the same.

    Does this help?

    iAnnotate easily creates a web page for you out of a web site. It has its own browser to do this with and if you do not like the PDfs name you can change it.

    Another way would be to take screen shots of existing web pages and combine them into a single document with something like pages. iAnnotate will create a web page with text that you can annotate, the Pages idea will give you a PDF with images and text.

    I like iAnnotate but both Pages and iAnnotate are heavy duty iPad apps that cost $10 each, not exactly for the those who just want to mess around.

    I recommend you to use bookmark on your browser. I use http://www.web2pdfconvert.com/pdf-button. Try it.

    Print to PDF app

    Give 'Print to PDF' a look.

    [I'd elaborate but I just posted a similar suggestion to a similar question on another site's forum and don't want to risk sounding like a shill. I have no connection with the author of the app]

    Just though I'd add a useful tip which is vaguely related.

    I frequently find myself saving web pages and I do it through Instapaper and Evernote.
    Instapaper saves the meat of the page minus all the unnecessary clutter of ads and like links etc..
    Instapaper has a share option which allows you to send the tidied up page to evernote. It even allows you to specify the notebook you want it saved in.

    Because of the recommendation on Print To PDF, I purchased and downloaded it. The functionality is just what was asked for here in the beginning and one which I have been desiring and looking for myself. The documents, after converstion to PDF are stored in a directroy structure within that app, which is as I suppose it has to be, although they can be opened in other apps. I did send a message to the develpers suggesting they provide a way to collapse the left sidebar so that documents being reviewed in their app can be viewed full-screen. But other than that, it is good and just what I was looking for.

    My favorite program for the PC which is comparable - PDF995 - hasn't gotten in the app development market yet, I guess. This'll do.

    I also bought "Print to PDF", and it works great. However, recently I found it does not convert all web pages into PDF. For example, when I tried to print Yahoo Mail in safari, it did not convert the whole page. It only created partial web page and the result looked weird!

    Anyone tried to convert Yahoo Mail in iphone and ipad? Both did not work for me. Also, may you guys help me how to add those URL in my bookmark in safari? I could not find a way to make it into my bookmark.

    Thanks!
