PDF It All

• Federico

I know: the name of this app sounds eerily similar to the hundreds of scammy, subscription-based PDF apps on the App Store that do very little beyond letting you preview PDFs. But this one is legit, and I’ve been using it for months.

I stumbled upon PDF It All last year when I had to convert a webpage to PDF and Safari – for whatever reason – wasn’t doing a good job with it. I’ve had these issues with Safari, especially on the iPad, in the past: webpages that can be printed to PDF just fine with other desktop browsers look weirdly formatted, or lose entire elements of the page, when converted to PDF from Safari. I have no idea why. Specifically, last year I was trying to convert a few pages from Apple’s and Anthropic’s developer documentation, and Safari’s PDF conversion was eating entire blocks’ worth of useful information from the pages. Not good.
