Wikipedia is arguably the biggest online reference resource, and when we read its pages we sometimes want to have a copy for offline purposes. The widely used but ineffective method is to copy the texts on the Wikipedia page and paste it into a word processor.

What you get from that are disorganized texts that require endless alignment and justification. But if you download the page as PDF, the texts rearrange themselves into a from good for copy-paste and easy to read like a portable document.

Converting or downloading a Wikipedia page into PDF is fast and easy, and here is how to go about it:

How to Download Wikipedia Page to An Ebook (PDF)

* Find your way to the Wikipedia page you to download as a PDF: I found my way to Human Evolution.
