How to print a web page in PDF format in Windows 7 after Firefox version 8?
Some web pages do not print to PDF after Firefox Version 8. The result is incomplete PDF or progress printing stops at a certain 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 newer than 8 Firefox. Note that the latest version of Acrobat Professional produced the same results, but also the other PDF generating tools such as 'FreePDF XP' and 'Bullzip. Also, the same web page on this same machine prints of in Internet Explorer. However using Internet explore is not a solution for our needs.
Thank you for looking into this.

This page print to PDF for me in 17 Firefox on Windows 7 x 64 - I tested pdfFactory Pro and PDF Creator.
You can try to reset all the printing preferences in the case where some corruption has crept in over time. This article that describes more in detail: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages
Could you also try to disable graphics hardware acceleration? I don't know if this affects printing at all, but just in case.
You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced
In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.
If you restart Firefox, you will notice no difference?
A standard Diagnostics in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Mode without failure of Firefox.
First of all, I recommend you backup your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox. (You can copy your profile folder Firefox together somewhere outside the Mozilla folder).
Then restart Firefox in Mode safe (questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode) of Firefox help
Help > restart with disabled modules
In the dialog box, click "start mode safe."
If you can print PDF files normally, it points to one of your extensions or custom as the problem settings.
To also disable plugins, you can try here:
Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > Plugins category
Any change?

Problems of conversion of a Web page in PDF format.
We have a user who is using "Adobe acrobat X Pro", and when it uses the function to convert website to PDF it captures any page, such as tables. If another user connects and does the same thing, he seized the entire page without problem. Is there maybe a permission that can be governing its access to capture the entire page? I would be grateful for any suggestion.
Save a Web page does not work identical to print in PDF format.
Things like the images of background, CSS Styles and iFramed items (like tables) will not save, but they will BE printed.

How to print normal Web page?
I used to be able to print pages from the internet without any problem at all. Now all of a sudden when I try to print a page, they come out very low. How can I solve this problem? Is it in the settings somewhere?
Could check you your "shrink to fit" and scaling settings? Means the simplest is:
Press the Alt key > file > Page Setup
The default would be
- Scale: 100
- Adjust checked (this disables the change area of the scale, but you can uncheck, edit, and then check again)
If those who are at their default settings, perhaps they do work well for certain pages? You can use the preview before printing to consider how to-retractable works on this page and replace with different percentages instead.
Occasionally the printer data Firefox gets blurred and manual adjustments do not seem to work. In this case, you can "reset" the printer settings. This article has the steps: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer

Microsoft edge does not support ActiveX plugins, so Acrobat plugin can not be used with it. In this scenario, you will need to use MS IE 11 to use the Acrobat ActiveX plugin.

How do I re-sequence pages in pdf format, which is in the booklet format?
I have a pdf file that is an A5 booklet to print double-sided, with two A5 pages printed on an A4 area. I would like to re - sequence these pages to single page number ascending order, for reading online. How can I do?
The first page A4 of my pdf file consists of page 1 left A5 and A5 page 48 on the right, followed by the second page A4 including A5 page 47 on A5 page 2 on right and left, and so on. [I can print this OK in pamphlet form, except as the second page of A4 size, etc. is upside down.]
Should I take the crude approach grunt and cut and paste each page A5, one at a time, in a new document? I use Acrobat Pro XI
You can reorder pages by dragging them to new positions in the Pages pane on the left.

Unknown error in Chrome in the conversion of a web page to PDF
Unknown error in Chrome during the conversion of a web page in PDF format. How can I solve this problem? Thank you for your help.
Hello
What I observe is that the first link requires the connection while the second link is a general link that are accessible without login.
Currently Chrome extension does not support the conversion of pages requiring a password.
Please let us know if this happens for pages that don't require a password or login ID too.
Thank you

I have print preview on my profile that nothing appears on the page to print, other profiles on my cpu it works and prints well.
Hi lncunningham,
· The question is limited to Web pages?
· Can you print any other files\documents very well?
· You use Internet Explorer to print Web pages?
Method 1: You can follow the steps in the article and see if it helps.
You cannot print or print preview Web pages in Internet Explorer on Windows Vista or Windows 7
See also:
Method 2: If the problem persists then you can try to create a new user account for yourself as it might have corrupted.

When I print a Web page to a .pdf or .xps file, it creates a new file, but file Explorer says it's 0 KB in size. These .pdf files will open, but they are white - the only thing that appears is the outline of a page, without anything in the outline. When I print an .xps file, File Explorer shows that it contains 0 KB. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that the XPS Viewer cannot open the file. These things just started for me a few days after I installed Firefox 40.0 on a new computer laptop of Toshiba Satellite with 10 Home Windows operating system. I have the latest version of Flash Player (in fact, I just tried redownloading and reinstalling the current version; that does not solve the problem). I tried to change the format by default to print to .pdf file, but that has not solved the problem. I contacted the chat Windows support site; They told me that it was not a Windows problem. Is this a Firefox problem? If so, you can tell me how to solve the problem, please?
Thank you

When I try to print a web page, the result is several partial pages. I tried to adjust the scale, but nothing seems to work. Where can I get this type of adjustment?
Three possible causes.
1. the page is intended for managers and each frame is print separately. If you right click on the page you will see a menu item for this framework , if this page contains frames. You'll see on this test page.
http://www.draac.com/framestest.html2. a page wide margin setting. You might be able to see that in Page layout > margins/header and footer page, but some printers are able to get weird settings which do not arise here. When you look at: config these prefs are far
Print.printer_-printer name_Printer.print_margin_left
and
Print.printer_-printer name_Printer.print_margin_right3. a non standard paper size is defined in the properties for this printer as seen through Firefox. Could define Custom or picture size.

I am currently using Firefox 29.
I try to print a web page, for example, a game of words crossed from a journal (the link is below).
http://www.freep.com/assets/freep/PDF/C422066148.PDF
The puzzle is displayed full-screen, but when I try to print, I get a blank print: nothing is displayed
In Firefox 27, printing would be reduced in size, although the print setting "Fit to page" has been selected.
I don't have this problem when you use Internet Explorer.
There is a bug in the PDF Viewer in Firefox 29. There should be an update in the near future to fix. For now, the best solution is to use a plugin instead of the built-in Viewer. Since you have the Adobe Acrobat plugin, it is a logical choice for you. This article explains how to make the transition: How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer.

DeskJet 2540 is ready, but don't print a Web page
I got my printer about a week and have used it for all necessary items with no problem until today.
I try to print from a Web site that I had NO problem for many years but today, nothing happens.
Also, note that anything on the web comes as a PDF file when I print, is this normal?
Hi Avengefulangel,
Here is a video/document way to print Web Pages in Google Chrome for Windows. I suggest also you update all your Products Adobe on your computer as most of the software of the printer and web pages to communicate.
I hope this helps, please hold me.
Thank you
