Well, it wasn\u2019t difficult in the sense that hitting \u2318P was too much work. The problem was that there were all sorts of extraneous unwanted junky-things that would print right along with what he really wanted \u2013 the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ads, menus, backgrounds, and footers are but a few of the offending items that get in the way of a good, clean read. Not only can they make for a messy read later on, but they are also ink-hogs. And nobody likes ink-hogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there&#8217;s no need to give up hope, for there is a light that can shine on the darkness of your printing despair. It is an easy solution for capturing only the blog content and its associated images from a Rocket Yard article, as well as most other posts you find online. That light is called Safari Reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Safari Reader?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Safari Reader is not new to the Mac by any means. In fact, it was introduced with&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2010\/06\/07Apple-Releases-Safari-5\/\">Safari 5<\/a>&nbsp;in 2010. Safari Reader allows you to read an article from any supported webpage, distraction-free. No ads, no navigation, just the content. But it isn\u2019t just the online reading that is made more comfortable \u2013 it\u2019s the printed version as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"footnote\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> Find out more about Safari Reader in the guide, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/47524-ride-the-waves-8-tricks-for-better-safari-surfing\">Ride the Waves: 8 Tricks for Better Safari Surfing<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Enable Safari Reader View<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To turn on Safari Reader View for an article, choose \u201cView &gt; Show Reader,\u201d or hit \u21e7\u2318R.

At least I can&#8217;t figure out how to adjust it. Yes, I&#8217;m glad I can view the article without my reading glasses hanging off the end of my nose, but dang the text is ginormous. Being able to reduce the font size would be a bit more manageable and save a few trees in the process. If anyone has figured out how to reduce the text size in Reader View when printing, please let us know in the comment section below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"footnote\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> You can adjust the font size when viewing, but not when printing. (\u2318- and \u2318+ increments the size up and down.) Kind of strange if you ask me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Font Size Workaround<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel the font size issue is casting a dark shadow on your new-found printing light, alas! There is hope. Here is one trick you can use to reduce the font size for an article you want to print or save as a PDF or plain text document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Select all of the text on the desired webpage when in Reader View (\u2318A).<\/li><li>Create a new document in a <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/35192-friday-five-history-of-os-x-text-editors-which-you-should-use\/\">text editor<\/a> like TextEdit.<\/li><li>Paste the text&nbsp;<em>without<\/em>&nbsp;its corresponding formatting (\u21e7\u2325\u2318V). This is also called &#8220;Paste and Match Style&#8221; and will insert only the text, no other media or styles like lists, alignment, bold, italics, etc.<\/li><li>Set the font size to whatever you&#8217;d like using your standard method. This will vary by application, though \u2318- and \u2318+ should work in most applications running on a Mac.<\/li><li>Print the document as you usually would.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Done! It ain&#8217;t pretty, but it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Printing a Webpage Without Images<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what if you find that removing all of the extraneous stuff just isn&#8217;t enough. Sometimes those Rocket Yard bloggers get a little image-heavy, right? Guilty as charged. &#x1f92b; And perhaps you don&#8217;t need or want the visuals on your printed copy. (Just the facts, ma&#8217;am. #JoeFriday). Well, the good news is that there is a way to disable all of the images on the page to give you a pristine, text-only copy of the article your heart so desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s yet another clunky workaround, but it will deliver the desired result.
