How to print a SquidgeWorld story from a PDF

You can print a SquidgeWorld Archive story for personal reading by downloading it as a PDF with WP Downloader. Open the PDF on your phone or computer and use the Print command. Its fixed page layout makes PDF well suited to printing.

Download the SquidgeWorld story as a PDF

WP Downloader is a free web tool, with nothing to install. Start on the SquidgeWorld downloader page, or paste the story link into the box on the WP Downloader home page.

A SquidgeWorld Archive story URL looks like this:

https://squidgeworld.org/works/123456

To make the PDF:

1. Open the SquidgeWorld story you want to print.
2. Copy its full URL from your browser’s address bar.
3. Open the SquidgeWorld downloader page.
4. Paste the URL into the download box.
5. Select PDF as the output format.
6. Sign in with Discord when prompted. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in.

WP Downloader downloads the whole story from SquidgeWorld Archive. It cannot download a single chapter or a list. If the author adds chapters later, download the story again to make a new file with the available updates.

You do not need a SquidgeWorld account for public stories. You can sign in with your SquidgeWorld account to access members-only stories that the account can already read. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It cannot bypass paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.

Check the PDF before printing

Open the PDF and check a few pages before printing. Make sure the title, story text, and any included images appear correctly.

Check the total page count too. Long stories can produce large PDFs, and reviewing the length first can help you plan the print job.

If the story has changed since your download, return to WP Downloader and make a fresh PDF.

Print from a computer

1. Open the PDF in your browser or PDF reader.
2. Select Print from the File menu, or use the printer icon.
3. Choose your printer.
4. Review the page range, orientation, paper size, color, and double-sided settings available for your printer.
5. Check the print preview.
6. Start the print job.

To print only part of the story, choose a page range in the print window. The labels and available settings depend on your computer, PDF app, and printer.

Print from an iPhone or iPad

Open the PDF in the app where you saved it. Use the Share or Actions menu and choose Print, if available.

Select a printer, review the page range and number of copies, then confirm the job. If the Print option is missing, open the PDF in another app that supports printing.

Print from an Android phone or tablet

Open the PDF in your PDF reader or file app. The Print command may be in the main menu, Share menu, or additional-options menu.

Choose a printer, check the preview and page settings, then start printing. Menu names vary between Android devices and apps.

Use a print shop

If you do not have a printer at home, save the PDF somewhere you can access while placing your order. Tell the print shop which pages you need, whether you want color or black and white, and whether to print on one or both sides of the paper.

Check the page count before ordering, especially for a long story. Printed copies are for your personal use only. Do not sell or distribute them.

If you would rather read without paper, you can send a SquidgeWorld story to Kindle or read a SquidgeWorld story on Kobo.
