In fact, I have a couple of web only stories I'd like to convert to pdf but don't know how. Can anyone suggest ways to do this that doesn't leave all of the extra BS in the web site like the headers and other junk?
You could try the browser print function and print it to .pdf
I do this with some financial articles I read to keep in the appropriate stock folder I research
That might work. I believe LibreOffice and OpenOffice export to PDF.
But you may have to edit the html files manually. Usually there's <div> blocks that reference when something starts or ends, and when you get to the start of the actual text you can delete everything else before it, then add in <html><body> and call it good. Same for the end, find the last section of where the text is actual story, delete everything after, and add </body></html> and that should be the minimum you need. If you leave it in the div tag, then leave the closing tag there too. Though many browsers are a bit lenient when you forget some things, and less so with other things.
