Hello!

Ref: https://forums.opera.com/topic/27752/opera-build-in-save-as-pdf-for-lengthy-webpage/5?_=1680117874443&lang=en-US

Just want to report that the build-in save as pdf function still creates PDF with page size above the limit lenth wich is 5080 mm or 508 cm according to the PDF specification (ISO 32000) if the webpage is too long. So most PDF reader wont get to open those type of webpage saved in the PDF fully.
I dont know any option in opera that allows to change settings in the build-in save as pdf function. It would be nice if this could be prevented like making the PDF having more pages.
I know that its possible to do that in the "print as PDF" option but in this option the PDF does not respect the webpage layout.

Thank you for reading!

@houaiss Just wanted to state this problem still exists. Apparently, the PDF should set the flag UserUnit. I haven't found a way to fix this in hind sight. The problem is that some PDF readers (most notable the Acrobat) are not able to read the file properly.

Many other viewers are perfectly able to read the PDF.

One source (this SO article) states, that this problem is even specific to Acrobat.

Either way, would be great if this was solved at the source of the PDF.
