If you want to learn how to save a web page as a PDF without ads for later reference on Mac, we are going to help you out. First of all a small clarification. When we save a bookmark of a particular website what we are saving is the URL of the resource.
This means that, if the content changes or disappears, we are left with nothing but an address. Given this, if we want to save a certain text, article, etc., it is best to save it as a PDF.
