I followed every step you did, but when I went to save the web page as a PDF it only allows for 1 sheet of paper. What should I do?

Community Answer

I had the same problem. Update to latest version, hopefully it will work. Then you will see an option to save in PDF file in the left side of the page.

How can I save the pictures that are included on the webpage? Community Answer

The pictures should save automatically. If they don't, then you may need to look into some troubleshooting. In step 6 of this article, you'll see "Options" at the bottom with a box next to "Background Graphics." Make sure that box is checked before saving the web page.
