Reader has been a feature of Safari for several years. I can’t remember when it first appears , but I think it was around the time of Leopard, but it could have been even before that. Reader is not a converter to PDF per se. It is a feature which lets you render the contents of a web page so that you see just the article content, free of distracting sidebars, advertisements, popups, etc. You then have the option of export the content to PFD, printing it, etc. The printed result/PDF has the same clean content as the screen copy. Until Yosemite, Reader was accessible by clicking a “Reader” button at the far right of the URL field on “Readable” web pages. If a apage is “Readable” the button is active. If not, the button is greyed out. In Yosemite, the icon has moved to the left of the URL field and appears as a pattern of four horizontal lines. It’s not visible at all if the page is not “Readable”.
