Usually, whenever I see something I like on the Internet these days, I "print to PDF" so I can have an offline copy. This is a great habit and I just do it out of routine these days.

So when I did it for this site, I was quite surprised that cmd-P didn't give me the standard Print dialog, but rather downloaded a pre-formatted PDF straight from the site, directly, instead.

Whoa! How do they do that? Cool feature, saves me a few clicks .. ;)

I also want to keep useful stuff for offline consumption, I used to do pdf printing...Now I use pocket , a free service, with addon on chrome , one click add to pocket... and on Android free app... working great for last few months I have been using.
Brings up Chromes regular print dialog for me. Maybe your browser or a plugin are responsible.
