How to save webpage as PDF in Safari

As you can see, whether you’re using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer (or Edge), or Safari—creating a
PDF from a webpage follows a similar process: print, save as PDF, download.

Don’t forget the customization options before saving your page. Depending on the browser, you can
set a new page title, set margins, and color sizes for your PDF.

How To Save a Webpage as PDF in Firefox

 
Unfortunately (and weirdly enough)—Firefox does not have a built-in feature for users to save a
webpage as a PDF freely.

However, there are add-ons that you can install directly from the Mozilla web store to do so. Worst-
case scenario—you can install one of the browsers mentioned above for free to save the desired
webpages.
