[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1712012, member: 76746"] Thank You Both for taking time to reply. I appreciate your help & knowledge. I apologize for the confusion. Upon a re-read, it seems that I didn't write to post too well. I'm trying to do what Sylvester mentioned, save a web page as a pdf via the Print menu. One thing I forgot to mention is that I tried removing Adobe Reader completely and then printing as PDF before I re-installed Reader. No luck I do use Preview. I'm not a big fan of Reader. It's too clunky for me. Some PDFs don't work in Preview, like many IRS downloads. So I keep Reader around for those. I used to Print As PDF all the time in 10.6.8 with both Safari & Firefox. (I'm new to 10.11.4- I jumped up from 10.6.8) As an example, if I found out how to do something new on this forum (as I often do- great place to learn!), I'd print it as PDF and file it on the computer for future reference. I liked PDF over Safari's webarchive because I could add notes & highlights to saved PDFs. I also paste some PDFs into Word, such as when printing postage labels. Sylvester's idea of [B]Export To PDF[/B] in Safari worked very, very well on several web pages from different URLs. Of the pages I tested, the only one that had problems were pages on this forum. The PDFs were all broken up & text was skinny columns. But the other web pages worked very well. In Firefox, we don't get the export option, so that one is still a pest. Since I am at 10.11 Safari will get security updates, so maybe I don't need Firefox any longer. I'll keep trying to get Firefox to print to pdf. If I find a solution (or a better browser), I'll let you all know! Of course, if you all think of something to try, I'll be glad to test it out & report back. Thanks Again! Paul [/QUOTE]
