PDF "printers"

  • The fact that this happens with 3 different pdf drivers is a clear indication that the problem lies not with the driver but (most probably) with something odd about the web page or (just possibly) pilot error. Trying different drivers is unlikely to help.

    If the web page is badly structured it may be difficult to find a solution. Does the page have a "printable version" link? Can you select the whole page content and drop it into a word processor for printing?
  • I assume that the software you're using acts like a printer but actually writes a PDF file instead of printing. If this is the case it could be that you aren't using the correct print settings from within your browser. Make sure you go to the full print menu and select the settings that will print the entire page.
  • This occurred to me, but the default page range for pdf drivers always seems to be "All", so I discounted it. However, if you have previously used a defined page range, it could have been remembered.

    With the help of the last three posts I have just sorted out my problem. I changed the paper size from A4 to 'tabloid' and got a perfect PDF. Strange that even though it's a PDF the paper size has to be correct in the first place!!

    I do not know if that will solve the OP's problem but it certainly has sorted mine out.
