In the same space there are:

  * Print Friendly (http://www.printfriendly.com/)
    Tayor Norrish was interviewed about his startup experiences with PrintFriendly on
    techzing (http://techzinglive.com/?p=211)
  * Print What You Like (http://www.printwhatyoulike.com/)
  * The new Reader functionality in Safari 5 (no editing here).

BTW, under OSX, from the printer panel you can save your printing as a PDF.

Thanks for the replay but i meant something that will enable me to create my mini magazine king of thing or mini book out of many sources of content on the web

Maybe you should go back and visit that second suggestion again. It does what you asked for.

Do you mean something like Flipboard for the iPad but with a PDF output?
