PDF's from full webpage

I am looking for a freeware way of producing PDF's from a full webpage (not just a screenshot)
I have tried Nitro and PDF Creator - both produce from screenshots (Docs, JPG, BMP etc etc) but you are limited to a screen of data - rather than a full webpage
I understand that PDF Creator can "import" PS files - but this is way too large a file size (the PDF results need to be emailed) - and anyway - I don't think that a webpage can easily be converted to PS ??
Any clever ideas ?

Not sure what is happening for you with PDF Creator, but it might be in how you are using it, as I have no problems.
PDF Creator should work as a print driver. When it has been installed, you should have it show in your list of printers. If you print the page using File>Print or the print icon in your browser and select PDF Creator as your printer, it should then come up with a dialogue box asking where you want to save the file and after about 30 seconds, hey presto... it has created the pdf. All you need to do then is find the file and open it0 -

You are right - it works
I was trying to be too clever - this is perfect

Similiar answer but try WinPDF, installs as a virtual printer and produces a pdf file of whatever you try to print - excellent utility0
