@dchristinat said in save as pdf - a 10 page site gets compressed to 1 page A4 - useless:
Hi
Using Opera many years as my main browser for many reasons, I was shocked that the feature "save as pdf" does not work as I expect. And there is no way to influence this, I have no way to influence the creation of the pdf.
Example: I have a webpage with 10-page article.
When I use print as xx pdf (using any of many so called pdf printers) I get as a result one pdf file with 10 pages A4, properly layout. (this pdf printer also has a plethora of params that I might adjust if something works not as expected. Thats all perfect.
Problem Opera: Same website with 10 page article. I tell opera to save the page as a pdf file. Works very fine and very flawless, so far ok. Result: I get one pdf file containing all 10 pages one a single page A4. Ridiculous. The text is reduced ten times in size that it fits on 1 page. Nobody kannn read it.
I got sample PDFs showing this nasty behaviour. I cannot send or upload it, maybe later if you provide my with an adress?
Opera has many good features. eg saving as PDF.
But I want not to have all 10 pages on 1 page, this 100% useless.I checked all for finding any seeing to adjust the process of PDF generation . There is no such feature available. Not even in Opera://flags.
This is sad - means it is a take it or leave it function.
For me, now that I know the feature is not working as expected and I do NOT have any possibilities to influence it, I must stop to use this feature. Even though it is one of the very best features.
I will use a pdf printer - even I hate it as it takes much more time.
I kindly ask you to give a set of parameters to adjust the native pdf generation of Opera - the current feature is ok, but the setting to put all content to 1 single page is useless.
Sometimes one page is saved in more than 1 page PDF. Is there any way to save it in one page PDF only?
