To save a web page in PDF format, you need to go File and select print. This will bring up the print menu with the choices of preview, cancel or print. Choosing preview starts the preview program which will then allow you to save the page as a PDF file.

When I'd first heard we were going to have some kind of PDF technology
underlying the graphics in OSX, I asked around and generally heard
that this meant any app would be able to read, write, and edit PDF
files. That's really great, I thought, because it truly would be a big
step towards a paperless office.

But now that OSX is here, I see a distinct lack of support for PDF.
I'd heard one Mac author say that any web page could be instantly
converted into a pdf, but I can't find a browser that does this. Am I
missing something? Are there apps out there that let me edit PDF
documents easily and intuitively, with the exception of Acrobat?

Can an app I write instantly gain the ability to edit a PDF document
via some Cocoa library? If so, that's great, and where is the API? If
not, can someone please explain the benefit of having PDF underlying
the graphic display in OSX?

Also, I appologize in advance for twisting and distorting the truth
about what is and is not possible in Cocoa, what I may and may not
have heard, for possibly using the wrong words in the wrong order,
offending people by the use of the word 'pustule' and generally being
a Mac programmer who is now learning Cocoa. I bow the NSGods of the
list and patiently await the answer to my humble question.
