    When you install Acrobat, Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and later) gains an Adobe PDF toolbar. Using the commands on this toolbar, you can convert the currently displayed web page to PDF in various ways: You can convert the entire web page or just a selected part of it; you can create a new PDF or append the converted web page to an existing PDF. The Adobe PDF toolbar menu also contains commands that initiate further actions after conversion, such as attaching the new PDF to a new email message or printing it.

    Which version of adobe acrobat (freeware) can do this?
    I have read but it seems only paid versions have this option.
    Anyone here know? Thank you kindly.

    The free PDF reader from Adobe is Adobe Reader, not Acrobat. And, it simply will not provide the functionality you get from Adobe Acrobat.

    But, there are other ways to accomplish at least part of your objectives. You could installed freeware PDF converter such as PrimoPDF (http://majorgeeks.com/PrimoPDF_d5431.html). This will allow you to "print" a web page to a PDF file; likewise, the print command for any other program can be directed to PDF file output instead of printing on paper.

    Cutepdf is the best out there. We use it in our office to print to pdf, for documents that we pull of of cd's, so that we can email them to other offices. I use it at home for printing stuff to pdf from the web or email.
