Printing tutorials
Prince converts Web pages into PDFs, intended for printing. The tutorials all offer a link on their navigation panel that allows you to view and print the entire tutorial as a single document, instead of multiple chapters. If you print that page with Prince, you will also get a nice table of contents. Make sure you check the printing policy before printing documents from this site.
Downloading Prince
Download Prince 6 or later for your system from the Prince 6 download page. Follow their instructions for installing it. Note that if this is for personal private use, it is free, and you do not need to purchase a license.
Converting the tutorials with Prince
Tell Prince to load and convert the online page:
- Windows
- Start - (All) Programs - Accessories - Command prompt (change the tutorial URL as needed, and note that you can copy from here and right click in the command prompt window to paste):
"C:\Program Files\Prince\Engine\bin\prince" --no-embed-fonts http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/combinedpage C:\tutorial.pdf
- Linux/Mac
- In a terminal (change the tutorial URL as needed):
prince --no-embed-fonts http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/combinedpage ~/tutorial.pdf
You should now have a new PDF file in the specified folder (C:\tutorial.pdf on Windows, ~/tutorial.pdf on Linux/Mac). Double click it (or whatever) to open it in your chosen PDF viewer, and then use that program's print function to print it.
