I tried this wikihow link and it only extracts no more than a paragraph from webpage in pdf or word. http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Physical-Therapy-to-Relieve-Back-...

I don't understand what is the advantage of server side processing. I have always depended on Evernote Clearly and Redability mobilizer to turn any web page into nice text which can be copied and pasted on MS Word. Then I can use Prince (http://www.princexml.com/) to batch convert docx into whatever I want. If someone finds it slow then they can enable auto capture clipboard. press ctrl+` to enable Clearly, ctrl+A to select all text, ctrl+C to send it to clipboard.

I wish if someone can work on this to make it smother for a desktop users.

PS: I also make use of reading view mode of Firefox.
