3 Ways to Convert RSS Feeds To PDF NewsLetters

You have lots of RSS Feeds to read everyday and some of the very popular blogs and news websites publish tons of content on a daily basis. You don’t have time to read all those posts and subscribing to the weekly email newsletter leaves your inbox with dozens of unread emails.

Then there are different ways to read RSS feeds offline, but the only problem of using a portable feed reader is that you will need an Internet connection to update your reading list. If all these methods sounds unmanageable and you want a better way to read RSS feeds, it’s a good idea to convert RSS feeds into PDF newsletters. With the PDF newsletter of your reading list, you can read them from your Android mobile while travelling to office.

Here are some best websites which can be used to convert RSS feeds to PDF:

Fivefilters.org – Turn RSS Feeds to PDF Newspaper
