Converting documents and other files on your computer to PDF is a job difficult in itself. However, with a variety of tools available, it has become considerably easier. But converting a web page to PDF is something that is not straight forward to do. You may need a software to do so most of the time.

Here is a service called Htm2PDF that converts any given web page to a PDF file in a matter of seconds. It is a free web based service that you can use to convert any web page into the Portable Document Format or PDF.

To use this service, all you need to do is enter the URL of the web page you need to convert into PDF and the service auto converts the entire web page and then provides you with a link to download the PDF file. You can download the file the usual way or open it via your browser and save a copy of it for later use.

An option is available to you to make any existing links “active”. By selecting this, you can make sure that the links on the web page are available on the PDF as links as well and not simply text.

The other option available to you is to include any flash movies that are present in the page in the PDF file as well. However I tried this with a video page from YouTube page and I got an error in displaying the video. This may however work with other flash videos.

Htm2Pdf also provides a bookmarklet to directly convert any page by simply selecting the link on the bookmarks part of your browser. This is an easier way to convert instead of visiting the site.

There are no mentions about how long the converted PDF file will be saved on their servers for you to download, however I am sure you’d have downloaded it by then. Do let me know if you know other similar services and if you found this one useful. Thanks for reading!

Creating a ringtone from your Mp3s may not be the easiest thing to do, provided you don’t have the right tools. There are a number of audio cutters out there using which you can create your ringtones. But the fact is that most of those are clunky software which don’t provide a good interface for the user. And professional sound editing tools like Sound Forge cost a bomb.

So, here is a web based service that you can use to create your own ringtones from the mp3s that you have or those that are available on the web. Audiko is a service available in both russian and english. To get started off with Audiko, you need to upload the song or music track to the site.

Uploading

You can either upload the track from your PC or from the web. That is, if the music track is available on the web, then you simply specify the direct URL to the track and the site auto downloads the track for editing. Once the upload/download is done, Audiko analyzes the track and gets it ready for editing.

Editing

You then need to select a part of the song that needs to be made into the ringtone. The selection can be a maximum of 40 seconds long. You can move the wave bar and select the part you want to. You can click on the selection to play it. This can get a better idea of what you want to select.

You can also add the fade in and fade out options, so that the ringtone fades in when it starts and fades out at the end. You can’t however mix several small parts into a ringtone using Audiko.

Downloading

Once the editing is done, simply click on the create ringtone button to get your ringtone ready for download. The site is also iPhone compatible and there are 3 different download options.

• Download to PC
• Download to iPhone (m4r format)
• Download via WAP

A code to embed the tone on your blog or website is also given for your convenience.

Conclusion

Overall I feel that the service is a simple and easy to use service to create ringtones quickly from your songs. Also, since no external software is needed, you don’t need to worry about cluttering your PC. Advanced features are not available, but I don’t see why you need them for creating simple ringtones.

This would be a good choice to create ringtones without hassle and I would recommend this for sure. Do leave your comments regarding this service and the tools you use to create ringtones as well! Thanks for reading!
