Answer 1

Webpages are of different formats. Out of them only html format webpages can only by saved on to computer.



Eg. the webpage which has 'asp' as extention cannot be saved on to system.



The best way is to load adobe acrobat full version (not just the reader) and then print the page using the adobe pdf settings in the print menu. Then you will be able to save the page in pdf format.
