I'm using Firefox on linux exclusively.

3One thing I like about Safari and OmniWeb on a Mac is that the operating system's built-in Print, Save as PDF actually yields clickable links in the generated PDF. The very same option does not create clickable links in Firefox though. I don't know how Safari and OmniWeb do it (one would expect a Print to PDF option to not know anything about some hidden links, and I certainly had not expected non-Apple software to know the internals of that). But if you like clickable links in the PDF, then that might also have an effect on the Firefox solution you choose.– ArjanSep 29, 2009 at 15:19

Save web pages as PDF with Firefox 3
or use the Screengrab addon.

1Awesome! Here is the link to the PrintPDF extension: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5971 Screengrab is no good though: it grabs pages as images, which is horrendously inefficient.– PeltierSep 29, 2009 at 12:53
1. Choice
PDF Mage addon. Nice work in Firefox 51.0.1 (64-bit).
2. Demonstration
(Page may incorrect displayed in Firefox web preview, but if I open saved PDF in Sumatra PDF, I have not bugs)
- Page, which I need convert to pdf — https://vk.com/wall245887788?offset=60, archive copy.
- PDF, generate by PDF Mage — http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/Kristinita/SashaMiscellaneous/blob/master/pdf/KristinaKivaWall.pdf.
3. Description
- Free,
- Active development in February 2017,
- Good PDF quality,
- Easy to use. I need only click the button in web-page, which I need to save.
- Save all images in page (unfortunately, sometimes I get bugs),
- Generate text as text, not as image. I can search text in generate page.
- Save web-pages, which not visible for all users. For example, I can save as PDF web-pages in private social network groups.
- Save data, which can be seen only by following the steps on the web-page. For example, if I open page, I see:
If I click to Показать полностью...
, I see:
Use PDF Mage I can save all text on image 2.
- Save 1 web-page as 1 PDF-page. It does not spoil the page. For example, if I use native «Save as PDF» in Chrome, I can get result:
Image it spoiled.
- Save hyperlinks.
