[QUOTE="krs, post: 1827293, member: 67742"] Hmmm... Just tried the following: On this webpage right here 1. Opened with Firefox 2. Right-click on page and select "Take a Screenshot" at very bottom of dropdown 3. At top right then select either the whole page (which is what I did) or any part of the page 4. Choose "Download" That will download the whole page as a .png file to whatever folder is set up in Firefox for web downloads 5. Open the downloaded .png file in Preview 6. Export page as a pdf It seems if you use "Export as PDF... you get only the tiny reduced version of the webpage the way all of it fits on a single screen, if you select "Export..." and then choose pdf from the options, the pdf will be a single pdf but the full size. Maybe viewing the png as "actual size" before creating the pdf will do the same - I haven't tried all the combinations. I then tried opening that pdf with both Preview and also Acrobat Reader - worked perfectly both ways. [/QUOTE]
