This should be solved by now. It broke under "so many" visits and during some seconds i accidentally some javascript.

Thanks primitivesuave. I plan to make this work on a tablet to ease the workflow you just commented.

I think by now all the 404 images should be solved. I was using xvfb and it lacked the proper parameter to not be overloaded with so many requests.

I am fixing the offset in webkit as soon as possible.

Thanks for all the bug reporting and opinions.

Thanks for the feedback andr.

I was thinking of it as using it for fast communication with designor to illustrate small points but I would definitely like to explore the social aprt of it (seeing what others commented and os on). Great idea also on the embedding comment.

I went the screenshot way but, if I used html I think the only option would be to code the js as a bookmarklet. It is an interesting option btw.

Thanks for the feedback, I was subtituting the http if present. I'll take a look at the dragging thing too.

edit:I updated the hint also. edit: it seems like on webkit offsetLeft does not work onReady, I am changing to be onload instead ASAP.

I am looking at it at Firefox and it seems to look right. Could you give me some more detail so that I can fix it?
Yes, that's the same I had in mind. Some users may find it convenient and/or don't have the techincal knowledge to install a pdf printer on windows.

I thought it would be a big feature to let users transform many urls in one step. That should be an improvement over printing all the urls separately. Perhaps as a premium service?

Thanks for the tests. I'll check why it has these errors. I agree completely on the language. I had the idea in mind that the PDF websites were all in english and thought an spanish version would make some difference at least in that market. I should probably translate it in more languages.
I started it because I had the need to read articles offline in an e-book reader. Also I found it useful to study website in a field and archive them in a file you can send to clients to compare ideas.

Show HN: What do you think of this website to convert PDFs

Hi,I have developed a site to convert url to PDFs http://www.webapdf.com. What do you think of it? Is there any feature you would like to see on such a site (there are a few of them). I am open to criticism and suggestions. Also, what does hn think is the best way to monetize such a site?Cheers

I read a book by Focault in which he said similar things about the evolution of efficiency in the military. There was a correlation between the number of precise movements of the armies and its efficacy. This was before modern wars.
