How to print a SciFiStories story from a PDF

To print a SciFiStories story for personal reading, download the whole story as a PDF with WP Downloader. You can then open the file on your phone or computer and print it. PDF keeps a fixed page layout, which makes it suitable for printing.

Download the story as a PDF

WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install. You must sign in with an account on scifistories.com to download from SciFiStories. WP Downloader only retrieves stories that your account can already read.

PDF downloads also require a free Discord sign-in. EPUB is available to everyone without that sign-in, but PDF is the suitable format for following this printing guide.

1. Find the story on scifistories.com.
2. Copy its full URL. A SciFiStories story link looks like this:

https://scifistories.com/s/1234/story-title

3. Open the SciFiStories downloader.
4. Paste the story link into the box.
5. Sign in with your SciFiStories account when prompted.
6. Select PDF and complete the free Discord sign-in.
7. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
8. Download the PDF to your device.

WP Downloader downloads whole SciFiStories stories, not individual chapters or lists. For a general walkthrough, see the SciFiStories download guide.

Print from a computer

Open the downloaded PDF in a PDF app or web browser, then use its print controls.

1. Open the PDF.
2. Choose Print in the PDF viewer or browser.
3. Select your printer.
4. Check the preview and print settings.
5. Choose the pages you want to print.
6. Start printing.

Check the preview before printing a long story to make sure you selected the right pages. If you only want part of the story on paper, enter the relevant page range instead of printing the entire PDF. You can reopen the same file later to print more pages.

Print from a phone or tablet

You can print from the phone or tablet where you saved the PDF.

1. Find the PDF in your downloads or files.
2. Open it in an app that displays PDF files.
3. Open the app’s sharing or printing controls.
4. Select Print.
5. Choose a printer and check the preview.
6. Confirm the print job.

The location of the Print option depends on the device and app. It may appear in the sharing menu or another options menu. If the app does not have printing controls, try opening the PDF in another app that can display PDF files.

Print at a shop

If you do not have a suitable printer at home, save the PDF and take it to a print shop. Decide whether you want the whole story or a range of pages, and check the PDF so you can give the shop the correct page range.

Print the story only for your own personal use. Do not sell or distribute printed copies.

Read the story offline without printing

You can also download the story as an EPUB and read it in a compatible app or on an e-reader.
