Which one is more usefull saving a website html or pdf
My goal here is mostly to read articles, but sometimes I save the website for archive purposes. Which one do you think I should choose?(Sorry for my bad English I am not a native speaker)
There's an addon for Firefox called SingleFile which lets you save a page as an HTML file but also includes all images, formatting, etc. It might be available for other browsers, but I'm not sure.
I don’t use it and inthibibthere might be some privacy concerns but I think Firefox bought pocket. It’s useful for just this purpose. You bookmark (pocket) a webpage for later reading and it syncs it to your devices in a readable format.
However, to more directly answer your question, it will completely depend on your use csse. Either should work but pdf will be more reliable.
In my experience, I can never fully archive HTML properly. There’s so many associated files to go along with it now a days that I usually end up with a broken page or stuff missing. PDF at least gives you a self contained snapshot.
Saving the website will be smaller so if you’re doing a lot of archiving that’ll save space. Also probably easier to find HTML renderers on weird platforms than PDF. Full disclosure I hate Adobe so I’m not unbiased, but HTML still has advantages.
Well thank you for answering my question but I think there is a thing called odt if Adobe is problem for you I think you can convert your pdf’s into odt but overall thank you
Yeah I have lots of options for my own use, but I hate adobe because they’ve infected every workforce I’ve been anywhere near with the idea that PDFs are gods will. And I’m commonly the one that has to interpret gods will for the congregation.
