You can convert web pages to PDF by using either the Adobe Acrobat desktop application or the Adobe Acrobat browser extension. When you install Acrobat on your machine, the browser extension is automatically installed alongside it.
To convert Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language web pages to PDF on a Roman (Western) system in Windows, you must have installed the CJK language support files while installing Acrobat. Also, it is preferable to select an appropriate encoding from the HTML conversion settings.
Enabling the Adobe Acrobat extension in your browser allows you to access Adobe Acrobat PDF tools directly on the web, including the option to convert web pages to PDF. Once enabled, the Acrobat PDF creation toolbar is added to your browser, and you can use the tools to view, fill, comment, sign, and compress PDFs. The option to create a PDF is also available in the context menu.

The right-click menu includes the Adobe Acrobat PDF edit, convert, sign tools option. Within this menu, when you select either Convert Web Page to PDF, or Add Web Page to Existing PDF option, the currently open web page, not the selected link, is converted.
Although you can convert an open web page to PDF using the Adobe Acrobat browser extension, you get additional options when you run the conversion from the Acrobat desktop application. For example, you can include an entire website in the PDF or just some levels of a website.
1. Open Acrobat and in the global bar, select Create > Web Page.
2. Enter the complete path to the web page, or select Browse and locate an HTML file.
3. To specify the number of levels on the website to convert, select Capture multiple levels. Enter the number of levels to include, or select Get entire site to include all levels from the website.
Some websites have hundreds or even thousands of pages. Converting a large website can make your system slow and unresponsive, and can even use up available hard drive space and memory, causing a system crash. It’s a good idea to begin by downloading one level of pages and then go through them to find particular links to download.
4. If Get N level(s) is selected, select one or both of the following options:
Stay on same path
Downloads only web pages subordinate to the specified URL.
Stay on same server
Downloads only web pages stored on the same server.
5. Select Advanced settings, change the selected options in the Web Page Conversion Settings dialog box as needed, and select OK.
6. Select Create.
You can view PDF pages while they are downloading; however, you cannot modify a page until the download process is complete.
You do not need to wait for the conversion to complete before adding more requests. While a conversion is in progress, you can convert another page to PDF and that gets added to the queue. The number of requests in the queue are indicated by the Pending Conversions field in the Download Status dialog box.
Use this procedure to append pages to a writable PDF. If the original PDF is read-only, the result will be a new PDF rather than new pages in the existing PDF.
2. From the global bar, select the Edit mega verb> Organize Pages > Insert > From web page.
3. Enter the URL to the web page you want to append and select options, as described for converting web pages to PDF, and then select Add.
4. Once the web page is converted to PDF, you see the Insert Page dialog box. Choose exactly where you want to add this page to the existing PDF, then select OK.
2. Right-click the web link, and choose Append to Document.
After pages have been converted, links to these pages change to internal links, and clicking a link takes you to the PDF page, rather than to the original HTML page on the web.
