  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.

• Question

  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.
