Hi, thanks, but I cannot get it to work.
I get 'safari Cannot open the page because the address is invalid'.
I re did your instructions 3 times, and took out the space.
Any help would be appreciated,
J

Are you talking about saving a web page as a PDF? Because I just tested it and it works fine. The JavaScript is:

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

*And I removed the space already, so all you have to do is paste the above into your URL field (when editing the book mark).

I don't really know how to tell you any different, especially after you've said you followed the steps. Maybe you've run across a web site that just won't work to convert. Did you try another to see?

Sorry not to be of more help - I just can't duplicate the error.

I would vote for PDF Printer for iPad, it works nice on creating Adobe PDF documents from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, Numbers, Keynote files as well as Photos and Contacts on the iPad.

Buy icab mobile, it's the best browser ever made for iPad, you can save any page on PDF, and a LOT of other stuff, hope you like it :)

Came here by a Google search. I know it's an old thread but will post anyway.
The bookmarklet works great with webpages that are not behind https. I was going to print a Gmail message and this method did not work.
I guess I have to try one of the PDF printers or iCab browser.

Thanks anyway.
