Just wanted to jump in here and say thanks to astein [for starting the conversation] and Knut for my new ownership of the nifty app WebToolBox+ ($1.99 at the app store).
I was intrigued by the idea of saving a web page as a PDF file, so I tried it: launch WebToolBox+, load the PDF converter script, put a "g" in front of the http:// part of the PDF site and watch it open (as a PDF file) in Goodreader for later reading/editing. Way cool!
I also found out that if you send the page as a link, it'll be a PDF that you send, which you can open with Acrobat (or, you can copy the link in the email on your iPad and then paste that link in Goodreader ... should you forget the "put the 'g' in front" trick). Kewl!
But, this is more about WebToolBox+. So, far, I've loaded scripts to search within web pages and format web pages (to make them more text-like), in addition to installing the tool to convert to PDF. If I do no more tool loading, it's been well worth the $1.99.
In short - thanks, Knut, for the WebToolBox+ tip. Nice!

P.S. Please note I'm not affiliated with anything to do with apps - I just want to express my thanks and give a mini review on a cool app... As always (I should put this as my signature line!) - YMMV.
