In the past, we have used Google Reader’s custom links feature to easily share articles on different social networks. Using this technique, you can also download articles from Google Reader directly to your computer in PDF format. Here’s how you can do this.
1. Go to the “Settings” page of Google Reader.
2. At the bottom you will see “Create custom link”. Click it.
3. Fill in the following information in the Name, URL, and URL Icon fields.
- Name: Save as PDF
- URL: http://savepageaspdf.pdfonline.com/pdfonline/pdfonline.asp?cURL-${url}
- Icon URL: http://www.adobe.com/lib/com.adobe/template/icon/pdf.gif
The Save as PDF checkbox will appear above “create custom link”.
Now go back and open any post. At the bottom of the article, you will see a “Send To” button. Click it. Select “Save as PDF” from the drop-down menu.
A page will open in a new tab, which is actually the Web2PDF online service. The role of the custom URL is to send the URL of the article to this service, which will convert the web page to PDF format. After the conversion, you will be asked to save or open the PDF file (for Firefox or IE users).
Download the page and enjoy the article in any PDF reader. You can also create custom urls for any other online PDF converter like Web2PDF.
