How to print any web page to PDF in Windows 7 after Firefox version 8?

Some web pages do not print to PDF after Firefox Version 8. The result is either incomplete PDF or the print progress stops at some point and Firefox is stuck. For example the following web page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln prints to PDF with Firefox Version 8, but it does not print with any version of Firefox newer than 8. Note that the latest version of Acrobat Professional produced the same results as well as other PDF generating tools such as "FreePDF XP" and "Bullzip". Also the same web page on this same machine does print from within Internet Explorer. However using Internet Explorer is not a solution for our needs.
Thank you for looking into this.

Graphics driver support seems to be a difficult area to get right...
I'd just be guessing as to any specific differences between Fx8 and Fx17 that affect the Adobe Acrobat plugin.

    I found that Firefox/XPS had deleted all printer driver setups except for the XPS connection. I had to reinstall my printer connection in order to have that selection present in the printer dialogue box.

  • How can I convert web page to PDF? When I upgraded to 4, it does not work.

    Since I upgraded to firefox 4 I can not convert web page to PDF, before there was a place in the upper left corner that said convert to PDF. If there is not a way to do this in 4 then how can I go back to the old firefox. If I can't I guess I will just uninstall FireFox.

  • Save Web page into PDF in Windows 7 32 bit for Adobe 7

    When security under Internet options in Internet Explorer runs with "Enable Protected Mode" checked, can not save web page into PDF. The version of Adobe is 7.

    Are you saying you cannot print to the Adobe PDF printer or what. You have to be more complete in your description since AA7 will not fully work in Win7. You will have to use workarounds, but knowing what steps you are using is important to giving any help. Just saying save does not help. Of course, you might be able to use the MS plugin for creating PDFs as an alternative if you only have AA7. One thing that you find with AA7 is that PDF Maker will likely not work and also the printer will have to be a print to file, followed with a use of Distiller to complete the PDF creation. The AA7 version of AcroTray that does a lot of the work in the background should not be expected to work with Win 7, thus the need for workarounds.

  • How do I convert Web Page to pdf

    Ok I have tried to find the answer to this question but no one seems to have the same problem I do. I would like to print my home page(with a few changes) as a brochure. To do this I copy the home page as a duplicate . Turn off the navigation menu in inspector. Then I edit the page. Then I go print, then view as pdf and the right margin and footer are cut off. I have tried to scale the page to fit but that ends up not looking like a full page. I have gone into inspector , page layout and changed width, height etc and that only ends up cutting out parts of the page. HELP !!!PLEASE!!! I have spent too many hours trying to make this work! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • All of a sudden I can no longer print any web pages. I have tried the solutions offered on the web site to no avail. I have also tried reinstalling it. If i can't fix this I'll have to use IE instead, but that is not what I want. What do i do now?

    When I click on the print icon or file-print, nothing happens at all.

    Is your printer selected? <br />
    Is '''Print to File''' selected, where the web page is being printed to a file and not being sent to your printer?
    See the screenshot below.

  • I use iMac desktop. I can't save web pages as PDF file by using Firefox, but by Safari is fine.

    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.4. Today, I tried to save my email content as a PDF file. However, I only got a PDF file that have partial content of email. Then I adjust the printer setting and did it again, then I only got a blank PDF file. There was nothing inside. Then I tried to save email as a PDF file by using Safari browser. And I got a complete and sucessful PDF file. I usually save web pages or web mail, online receipt as PDF file by use Firefox. But since I have updated to the new version, there were many problems with my Firefox. I tried to restore all my application and made Firefox in the old 3.6.3 version which I used to have no problem. But now still not working.

    I solved it for myself: it was my HP smart-web printer crap that was a plug in and add on for firefox that somehow automatically got installed when I upgraded to 5. I disabled both in the add-ons manager, and voila, printing is working.
    It seems there are many things, like this and the Google toolbar, that were screwed by the oddly fast update to 5. Looks like Mozilla didn't give anybody any notice! Must've been some really bad security hole.

  • How do I print a web page and email a link to a web page?

    I cannot print a web page like I could with earlier Firefox versions. Nor can i email a link to a web page. nor can I load google toollbar. i am very disappointed with firefox for not supportring these features.

    Hi
    1: here's (probably) the why : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12169422&#12169422
    2: That's tough, if you're lucky someone wrote a handy Safari extension to modify print styles - otherwise it'd be tricky.

  • No preview or preview button appears when I try to print a web page, as it does for any other file. How can I arrange for preview?

    n the dialog box that appears when I try to print any web page, there is neither a preview nor a preview button, (although there is a preview if I open the web item as a pdf file, but that takes an extra step. A preview appears when I print any other file on my computer (a Macbook). Is there a setup procedure that will give a preview when printing one or several web pages?

    The Print button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list opens the Print Preview window.
    You can click the Print button in the Print Preview window or use the Print item in the File menu (File > Print) or use the Ctrl+P shortcut to have access to the print selection item and other print setup options.
    * Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    * Use "View > Toolbars > [X] Menu Bar" to have the menu bar visible permanently.

  • Print web page to PDF file with live links in PDF file like Apple Safari's pdf prints?

    With Firefox for Macintosh, can I print a web page to PDF in such a manner that when I option the PDF file and click on a link, it is a live link that opens in my system's default web browser?
    With Apple Safari, when I print a web page to a PDF file, the links on that page are "live" and work to open the web browser to their destination. The PDF files I get from Firefox are dead. Clicking on link does not open in browser.
    Is there a way to get FireFox to act more like Safari in this regard?
    Thanks

    Seems the referenced thread is about Lion. I am having this problem in Snow Leopard 10.6.5 with Firefox. Any way to get PDFs with working links in Snow Leopard using FIrefox? I do not really want to have to use Safari for this purpose.
    Going forward when and under what circumstances will future versions of Firefox be able to create PDFs with live links? Are there any circumstances where a current or past version of Firefox can do it under any current or past version of OS X?
    Thanks.

  • I only get a blank page when trying to print a web page

    I have looked up how to print a web page and did exactly as shown on the screen (I did select my printer) but when I want to print a Web page I only get a blank page. I also cannot save as PDF in the Print Dialog Box because I get a blank page there too.
    I have tried to disable all my add-ons and extensions and re-enabling them one by one and it did not change anything.
    Although I did not specifically notice the exact date, I feel this has been happening since I have upgraded to Mac OS 10.6.4

    Wow! After several different attempts to solve my printing problems , the one that worked was the suggestion that I hit "Reset Firefox" button on the Troubleshooting Information page. Once I did that and got back in I was able to print pages correctly. Thank you for all your help and patience.

  • Convert Web Page to PDF formatting problem - 1st line of each paragraph outdented

    Hi Folks,
    I get a formatting problem when I convert any web page to PDF using the 'Convert Web Page to PDF' option - the 1st line of each paragraph is outdented.
    eg if i convert http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/whats-new-acrobat-xi.html I get this:
    I get the same problem using IE 9, Chrome (latest) or Firefox 30.0. I don't get it converting a Word doc to PDF.
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on a PC running Windows 7.
    Is there a simple setting somewhere I am missing?
    Any help much appreciated!

    Are you using "Adobe PDF" or "PDF or XPS?" I sounds like "Adobe PDF," but trying to be sure. Have you updated your Acrobat to the latest version? If not, try that.
