Print Safari pages to PDF without page breaks
Authored by: taaminator on Feb 12, '04 05:00:04PM

This works with Adobe Reader, too, if you set up a faux custom page size, first.

To reduce wasted space in your new document, save the web page to PDF, first.

Safari>File>Print>PDF>Save as PDF>

View the PDF and see how many 8.5x11 pages it required. For example, if it took three pages, then you know the document is at least 33 inches long.

Now, create a fake custom paper size.

Safari>File>Page Setup>Settings:>Custom Paper Size>New>

[I named the paper 'web page' plus the length.]

Change the length of the paper in the "Paper Size" "Height" block.

The trick here is to "Save" the settings before you close this window.

Select Okay.

Go back to your web page.

Safari>File>Print>PDF>Save as PDF>

Safari SHOULD save the webpage as a 8.5x33 inch page.

Adobe Reader SHOULD open the file and display the webpage as a 8.5x33 inch page.

Tested on iMacFP running Mac OS 10.2.8 and Titanium running Mac OS 10.3.
