It's easy to read wattpad stories online(on the web) or offline(on the wattpad app). However, if you want to print out one story from wattpad, things go a little difficult. To both writers and readers, it's so convenient if they could turn the online story to PDF to edit, take notes, bakcup the contents or even share story with others. Here I'm to introduce how to print wattpad stories step by step.
Question: Hey I was wondering (for those who know wattpad) if any of you know how to print out a wattpad book. I have no intention of stealing it, I just really want a printed copy.
Please note: I'm not to teach you how to publish or resell wattpad content. Respect authors, and respect anyone's efforts.
There is no "Print" option on the wattpad webpage
Access wattpad official website via a browser, then log in, and read one story online.
Different from other common webpage layouts, there is no "Print" option after opening one story and right-clicking on the page.
You even won't be able to copy text from wattpad, after selecting some words, you can only see a "Share" option.
Comment on one sentence and print it out
However, if you only want to print out one sentence, it's OK. You just need to select one sentence and click on "comment".
Select the content again and right-click to choose "Print". The selected sentence will be saved as PDF.
Important: You can only copy at most one sentence at a time. You can neither print the full content of one page / one chapter nor print the entire story contents.
Of course, you can also select the commented sentence and copy them into a Word document, format the content into something suitable for printing.
Take a Screenshot of one page on the web
You can also take screenshot images of one page that you opening and readvia the Web.
Save the image and open it, then right-click to "Print".
Keep in mind that, a different size the window, different layout of the printed page layout. You can take selected regions, or scroll window to screenshot an image, it depends on what you want to print out.
I would say it does work, but it's not a satisfactory solution.
Download Wattpad Story to PDF (print the entire content)
You need a tool to help print the entire content of one story, not only the sentence of one page. Here is the Epubor Wattpad Backup tool, the current version helps download the online wattpad stories and reading lists to PDF/EPUB/Mobi format.
Add the detected stories to its main interface and click on the "Download to" button, choose PDF format as the target format, wait for the downloading to complete and you will get pdf format files from the output folder.
Now you can print the wattpad story, or even read the pdf format edition on any reading app or device.
Final thoughts
Wattpad officially disallows us to print the story, and we can only get selected part of the content to be printed out. In other words, we are unable to print stories unless we use third-party tools. I highly recommend you use Epubor Story Backup, it deserves your trial as it helps download the story with the original layout, without content loss.
I would say that you will like this tool as it works fine downloading from Wattpad at high speed, which can otherwise be difficult to do if you want to read offline. It offers free trial version(helps download 3 stories for free) and the monthly license will charge $9.99.
