I find I can print pdfs of web pages in Firefox and Dolphin HD, but there are no headers or footers with urls and page numbers like most printouts from a computer would have. Also, Dolphin will not print logged in web pages to PDF, but Firefox will. Any suggestions?
What other browsers have this capability?
Are there any system print to pdf utilities, such as a driver for a virtual printer that creates PDF files, that may allow creating pdfs from other applications as well as web browsers?
Thanks in advance
Try ezpdf reader from android market most probably will solve ur problem.

I have an Atrix with the dock and can print to PDF from Firefox, BUT, I too would like to have the "Print to PDF from Web" capability just as I do from my old win7 system with Adobe. I have been looking and have tried many, Printbot, Samsung mobile print (great for paper), Printershare, BUT, nothing that will allow the Android Browser to print a webpage directly to PDF. I am using both my Atrix/Dock and Transformer w/ ICS and neither browser will allow printing.
Any ideas?
The objective of this thread is to be able to get the chrome bookmarks (desktop) into the dolphin hd browser (on the device).
I know that there are already apps that do that (syncing process). But, although they are not all paid, none of them really did what i was expecting and was a hole lot of trouble.
What were going to be doing is to "pass" the hole chrome bookmarks into the dolphin hd.
Theres no auto-sync function. Hell...actually theres no sync at all...its kind of a weird solution to be able to export the bookmarks.
so let me start by saying that the "idea" on how to do this came from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459360
in there, user wifesabitch exported the bookmarks (.html) and then transfer it to the boat browser in the phone and restore the bookmarks.
So, i took the same idea, but with my mind set in the dolphin browser.
First you have to export your bookmarks in your chrome.
1- Open chrome
Then do ---> Customize & Control (the tool logo on the upper right corner) ---> Bookmarks ----> Bookmark Manager
In Bookmark Manager go to Organize and click on the option "Export Bookmarks to HTML File"
Choose a path, name, and accept.
Ok. So now we have our hole collection of bookmarks in our nice little desktop...now what?
2- Go to your android. Open dolphin, and go search for the add-on (you can do that from the same browser) called Bookmarks to SD. Install it.
Great!. were almost there....
Now, using any file explorer, you can go to "SD/TunnyBrowser" (the dolphin folder) and youll see a new folder created there...called ...."Bookmarks". (really original...)
3- connect the android to your desktop. and copy the .html file from chrome inside that folder (SD/TunnyBrowser/Bookmarks)
4- open the newly installed add-on / app / whatever you wanna call it... (Bookmark to SD)
And youll have a few options. Go to Import. then mark in "dolphin browser" and click import.
It will ask you wich file you wanna import (you can have different ones). Choose one. and accept.
5-There you go!. you can go and check all your chrome bookmarks but within the dolphin browser.
Doas this mean that i have to do the same $"$"#$"#"#$#&T#%$&% process all over again everytime i wanna sync?
Yes. :S
Do you feel funny having to do all this mess for a simple little thing like importing bookmarks. And yet, there are ppl who can program NASA stuff?
Yes. :S
But. Hey..it is what it is.
If this help you guys, Awesome. I know that this is probably a really dumb stuff for this forum, but, i reallllllly search and could not find anything, so may be some of you can feel good having a nice simple way to do that.
I know it was good enough for me
Have Fun.
You know it REALLY burns me up that Dolphin cant have a "import bookmarks from file" option. If they really want to be taken seriously as a web browser, then they need this option.
Hell I bet internet explorer 2.0 had it, but in 2012 we still need to jump through all these hoops just to import some goddamn bookmarks.
(yes I am angry)
So here's what I do. Manual but less steps, perhaps. Works for me. Your mileage may vary.
I export my bookmarks from Chrome.
Upload the file to Dropbox.
Set the Dolphin HD home page to the Dropbox file.
When I want to update the bookmarks file, all I have to do is repeat the first two steps above. I'm running on a Mac and use a utility called Hazel that basically all I have to do is create the export and Hazel does the rest for me. Basically takse all of 15 seconds form to update the file on Dropbox.
Now when I hit the 'Home' button, I see a web page with all my links.
Hope this helps provide another way to accomplish the same thing that may be better suited to others.
I finde another solution. Just imported my Firefox bookmarks as .html file. Copied it to my phone. Opened it with Dolphin. It opens it as a list. And I added that listed page as bookmark.

Thanks! Half works for me, I had installed "Bookmarks to SD" previously but it was just throwing up a whole bunch of error. Thanks for the pointer about the "Bookmarks" directory with the "Tunnybrowser" directory.
Still, after churning for a while, I got a page saying "ERROR", nothing else. This is one nasty piece of work in my book. And the fact that in this day and age, you can't sync bookmarks between browsers? The alternatives are $ based subscription service like XMarks and CMarks?
Sorry for my rant.
Not working for me on GS3 JB rooted
Thanks to the OP for getting this going.
I tried the first post directions, but checked for the 'Booksmarks' folder in TunnyBrowser, but it was not there after installing the 'Bookmarks to SD' add-on for Dolphin.
I'm not sure if something has changed with Dolphin or the Add-On since the original post, but wondering why I don't see the 'Bookmarks' folder in sdcard/TunnyBrowser
I even created the Bookmarks folder and pasted an exported Chrome .html file in it, but 'Bookmarks to SD' will not find/see it.
Anyone else have this issue? workarounds?
Try Dolphin Connect from Chrome Web Store. I just started using this, and my bookmarks are totally synced now between Chrome and Dolphin.

I confirm : it works fine !
I have deleted "chrome" which is a verry nice browser, but too "big" (>65Mo and not movable to Internal SD nor External SD)
Perfect Solution!

Yes I am.
Have spent far too much time trying to get my bookmarks from Chrome to Dolphin without success
The sync between Chrome and Dolphin seems to be working okay.
Even have a Chrome bookmark folder showing in the Dolphin bookmarks list.
Inside are 3 files, Bookmarks Bar, Mobile Bookmarks and Other Bookmarks.
Only problem is, they are all empty.

Hi Rob,
I did download the Dolphin Beta version from the Play Store yesterday. But having exactly the same result, except there are no Chrome folders showing.Not certain what build this Beta is, as I can find no number anywhere. However flash has been disabled and it won't allow to be enabled.
The desktop Chrome is showing a link with Dolphin and even tells me how many bookmarks have been sent along with history.
Dolphin tells me it syncs okay and the download was successful. However, I cannot find the sent bookmarks anywhere in Dolphin,
I can receive a current Chrome desktop page that has been sent to Dolphin.
So, could try your source of Beta if you have the link please.
Thanks, Mike
I recently returned to school. Most of my reading material comes in password protected ebooks. When I opened it with Adobe Reader, I could not enter my username and password. Opens fine on my PC. I tried all the readers on the playstore , including Aldiko Book Reader, ezPDF Reader Multimedia PDF, RepliGo PDF Reader and many others. Repli allowed allowed to enter my username, but not the password. To my disappointment, I cannot read my materials on my Note 10.1 If anybody knows of an app or procedure to allow me to unlock password protected ebooks with ones username and password, it will be a great service for me and others in my situation.

Hey LoopDoGG79,
This happened to me as well and I understand your frustration.
My solution was solved as following:
1. Download separate chapters (NOT the whole book) (for faster process)
2. Download and install BullZip Printer (Free PDF printer)
3. Open up your book chapter in Adobe Reader
4. Unlock your book, make sure it has "Remember my user name and password" CHECKED (future convenience)
5. Click continue to any JavaScript warning
6. With your chapter open in Adobe Reader, click the print button on top
7. Select your BullZip PDF Printer and click PRINT (Black & White, or Color under Properties, next to where you select the printer)
8. Browse where to save your book, DESKTOP is a good option.
9. You'll might get a copyright warning, but click YES here.
Ta-daaaa!!!!
Now you can open up your book in any PDF applications in your Phone, Tab or IOS device........
Sweet, isn't it?
Good luck and happy reading.

Thanks for the excellent tip. Will this "print" the entire PDF and save the whole PDF on the desktop?
Exactly...
Just try it out and find out for yourself where are the limitations.
Le us know what your results were....

Vampiro,
Thank you so much for posting the answer to a problem that I also have had with trying to open a password protected pdf on my tablet. Your solution will save me from going bald as I have tried for the last year to open my textbooks that are password protected. Thanks again!
Lately I've been needing to open PDF files on my phone while traveling for work. However, when the PDF files are emailed to me, once I select the attachment from Gmail the PDF view opens but doesn't display anything. This also happens if I download the file tot he sd card and try to open them that way.
I've tried rebooting as well as wiping cache/dalvik and fixing permissions. Nothing works.
Any ideas?
What app are you opening them with?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think it's just trying to open the PDF for viewing directly in Gmail. When I open the Gmail app back up it is still on the blank PDF screen.
Install a program that can handle PDFs like Adobe Reader or ezPDF or something.
Adobe Reader solved the problem. Thanks!
Prior to trying Adobe Reader I made sure Google Drive was installed and functioning properly but no matter what I did the PDF's wouldn't open. I'm surprised Google Drive couldn't take care of this, forcing me to resort to using Adobe.

Google Drive only allows you to access files stored on Google Drive. Quickoffice (also by Google, and installed by default on the Nexus 5) will handle it as well. I recommend Adobe Reader only because I've had trouble with some more complex PDFs in Quickoffice.
Good to know. Thank you.
I have adobe pdf reader on my phone and it works fine. I can open it from the launcher, and I can click on a pdf file using EStrong File Explorer and it opens it immediately. But if I click on a pdf file from the Downloads app, it asks me if I want to "Complete action using" either Ebook Reader (which is terrible for reading PDFs) or Nova Launcher (uh...right).
Any idea why adobe is missing from this list, or what I can do about it?
