How to Print a Criminal Minds Fic Archive Story

Use WP Downloader to save the whole Criminal Minds Fic Archive story as a PDF. You can then open the file on your computer, phone, or tablet and print it.

PDF works well for printing because its fixed page layout keeps the pages consistent.

Download the story as a PDF

WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install. Start on the Criminal Minds Fic Archive downloader.

A story link from The Hookup Zone usually looks like this:

http://thehookupzone.net/CriminalMinds/viewstory.php?sid=1234

To create the PDF:

1. Open the story on thehookupzone.net or criminal-minds-fiction.com.
2. Copy the full story URL from your browser’s address bar.
3. Open the WP Downloader page linked above.
4. Paste the story URL into the box.
5. Wait while WP Downloader detects the archive and prepares the story.
6. Select PDF as the output format.
7. Sign in with Discord when prompted. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in.
8. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
9. Download the finished PDF to your device.

WP Downloader downloads the whole story from this archive. It cannot download individual chapters or story lists. If the author adds more chapters later, download the story again to create an updated file.

Signing in to the archive is optional. If you have access to a members-only story, signing in with your account may allow WP Downloader to retrieve it. Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you requested. WP Downloader cannot bypass locked content or other access restrictions.

See the The Hookup Zone download guide for more help with downloading the story.

Check the PDF before printing

Open the PDF and check a few pages before printing the whole story. Make sure the text appears correctly and that any images you included are present.

Check the total page count as well. Fanfiction can be long, so you may prefer to print a smaller page range instead of the entire story at once.

Review the available paper size, orientation, scaling, color, grayscale, and double-sided settings. Use the print preview to check that the text fits the page and is comfortable to read.

Print from a Windows PC or Mac

1. Find the downloaded PDF on your computer.
2. Open it in your usual PDF reader or web browser.
3. Choose Print from the File menu or select the printer icon.
4. Select your printer.
5. Review the page range, number of copies, color, paper size, and scaling.
6. Turn on double-sided printing if your printer supports it and you want to use less paper.
7. Check the preview, then start printing.

You can print one or two pages first to check the layout before printing the rest of the story.

Print from an iPhone or iPad

1. Find and open the saved PDF.
2. Open the sharing options and choose Print.
3. Select an available printer.
4. Set the number of copies and any available page options.
5. Review the preview, then print.

If the app does not have a Print option, open the PDF in another app that supports printing.

Print from an Android phone or tablet

1. Open the PDF from your downloads or files.
2. Open it in a PDF viewer that supports printing.
3. Open the app menu or sharing options and choose Print.
4. Select your printer and review the settings.
5. Confirm the page range and number of copies, then print.

Menu names vary between devices and apps. Look for the print command in the PDF viewer’s menu or sharing options.

Use a print shop

You can take the PDF to a print shop if you do not have a suitable printer at home. Ask which file-transfer methods the shop accepts, then provide the PDF and specify the paper size, color settings, page range, and whether you want single-sided or double-sided printing.

Print stories only for your own personal use. Do not sell or distribute printed copies.

You can also send a The Hookup Zone story to Kindle or read it on Kobo.
