How to Print an AltHistory Story From a PDF

You can print an AltHistory story for personal reading by downloading it as a PDF with WP Downloader. Open the PDF on your phone, tablet, or computer, then use the print option in your PDF app. The fixed page layout makes PDF suitable for printing.

Download the story as a PDF

WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install. For AltHistory stories, it collects the threadmarked chapters from a forum thread and puts them into one book.

An AltHistory story URL usually looks like this:

https://althistory.com/threads/some-story-name.123456/

To download the PDF:

1. Open the AltHistory Downloader.
2. Copy the URL of the story thread you want to print.
3. Paste the URL into the downloader box.
4. Wait for WP Downloader to process the story.
5. Choose PDF as the output format.
6. Sign in with Discord when prompted. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in.
7. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
8. Download the PDF to your device.

You do not need an AltHistory account. WP Downloader downloads the whole story rather than a single chapter or list. For an AltHistory thread, the book contains its threadmarked chapters.

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to a PDF or EPUB you already downloaded. If the author adds chapters later, download the story again to get a new copy. See how to download AltHistory stories for the general download instructions.

Check the PDF before printing

Open the PDF and make sure it contains the chapters you expected. Check the page count and, if you included the story’s images, decide whether you want to print them in color or black and white.

Print from a computer

1. Open the PDF in a browser or PDF app.
2. Choose Print from the app’s menu.
3. Select your printer.
4. Review the page range, number of copies, orientation, color, and double-sided settings.
5. Check the print preview.
6. Start printing.

If your printer supports double-sided printing, you can use it to save paper. You can also select a page range when you do not want to print the entire PDF.

Print from a phone or tablet

1. Find the downloaded PDF on your device.
2. Open it in a PDF app.
3. Open the sharing or options menu.
4. Select Print.
5. Choose your printer and review the settings.
6. Confirm the print job.

If your app does not have a print option, transfer the PDF to a computer and print it from there.

Print at a print shop

You can take the PDF to a print shop if you do not have a printer. When placing the order, choose the pages you want and whether to use single-sided or double-sided printing, color or black and white.

Print the story only for your own personal use. Do not sell or distribute the printed copy or the PDF.

If you prefer to read without printing, you can send an AltHistory story to Kindle or read an AltHistory story on Kobo.
