[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1827287, member: 38864"] I'm trying a couple options here (Safari 12.1.2 on Mojave), and here are my observations. Using "Save as PDF" via the print dialogue gives me a very different appearance of this very discussion here vs using "Export as PDF" from Safari's "File" menu. The Export option gives me the exact same appearance as the site looks in the browser, with the exception of page breaks. Unfortunately you can't get away without page breaks using the PDF format. PDF is intended to replicate on-screen the dimensions of real-world paper. Short of finding a 3rd party option that lets you use custom "paper" sizes (you'd have to create a crazy long one to be a single page), page breaks are unavoidable in this format. But try "Export" in Safari... that may work better. EDIT: Dangit... I missed your followup comment where you tried the export option. [/QUOTE]
