1what about Selecting area and the Right Clicking and click on Inspect Element? Select the container with the data you want (table or div etc...) and then you can "Copy as HTML" into a doc and then output the doc to pdf– LogmanJun 27, 2013 at 3:09

This is not bad idea at all, but this way I lose every (CSS) formatting and need to much clicking :D to achieve a simple task. Also you can only select one block at a time and digging into the HTML this much doesn't worth it.– kissgyorgyJun 27, 2013 at 3:21

I use evernote web clipper plugin for chrome for this purpose. You can either clip pages as notes or PDF as well.
These methods do not work if you select certain area on the web page using the mouse. Then only the section visible in the browser without scrolling
HTTrack website copier is capable of doing this, but you'd have to download the whole site. After, though, you could import it into Adobe Dreamweaver and edit to your hearts content!
