Chrome Print - Save as PDF - Print to One Page


When printing via "Save as PDF" in Chrome, how can I make the size of the page fit the webpage dimensions?


The page I'm trying to generate a PDF from has a bunch of graphs on it, and I don't plan on printing it to paper - I'd just like to generate a presentable document. But, when I go to print it as a PDF, my graphs keep getting diced up from all the pages. I'd like to simply print everything on one page. Is this possible?


Answer



For now, I've found a Chrome extension that works for what I'm doing. It allows me to snapshot the entire page, and then save it as a PDF or image. The only disadvantage of this method is that the page (even when a PDF) is, as a whole, an image. Thus the text is not selectable or vector scalable.


Here's the extension if it helps anyone else:
