Save web page as PDF?

[Fjord]

Hi,
How can I download a web page, as it appears in a browser, as PDF for archival?
I mean of course I can dload the web page but then I get HTML code. And apparently, I can save only cards to PDF (if I read the doc correctly).
Any idea?

Hi.

Not are what you mean. Do you want to save the contents of a card as a PDF?

If so, the "open printing to PDF" command does it all.

As the title says: I want to
save a web page as pdf.
I know I can save a card as a pdf.
But the web page is way longer (and wider) than my stack.

Bonjour François,

unfortunately this is not possible with the browser widget.
It even does not support the porperty "the formattedheight", so we cannot use a
workaround like enlarging card and the widget to the correct (formatted) height
and then print the card or somethink like that.

I Never used it, but saw the the XBROWSER (revbrowser) external (only available on Mac and Win) supports -> revBrowserPrint
Maybe that will work with open printing to PDF?
Check revbrowser... in the dictionary for more infos about this external

Will add an enhancement request for formattedheight and something like revBrowserPrint of the browser widget.


Best

Oh, someone already reported this and there is even a workaround for getting the formattedheight usign JavaScript.
