[QUOTE="krs, post: 1827321, member: 67742"] Ian, Thanks for the suggestion, but PDFpenPro has the same problem. I just tried the demo option of version 9 - the latest I can use with El Capitan, but I doubt later versions are any different. The one problem is that one has to select a page size and page orientation before creating the pdf. If the page size elected is too small, then the text is not rendered properly - if it's too large then the position of some of the text is not correct. I tried US letter size both portrait and landscape, then A4 landscape and finally "tabloid" (which sounded BIG With US letter and A4 the text was broken up - if a word was too long the pdf would just put the last four letters of the word on the next line With tabloid the text was OK, but some of the webpage was way over on the right with a big wide space between the left and right part of the page. But in all the pdfs created, even the tabloid size, the image on the webpage was totally missing. Seems to me in general, PDFpenPro otherwise would be a good, and reasonably priced, replacement for Adobe Acrobat. Can anyone comment who has both? I bought version 9 of Acrobat many moons ago - it works a bit the same as PDFpenPro when trying to create a pdf from a webpage, but it does not work either. I'm going to try my workaround on this webpage which btw was the one that I was working on when I started this thread - see if I can get that to work.
