Krzysztof Nowak (ID: 000000080453f66e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/23/2023 Zapisuje do PDF taką wersję strony, jaka jest "w internecie", a nie w mojej przeglądarce. Różnica jest taka, że porozwijałem takie opcje "Czytaj więcej", żeby do PDF zrzucić sobie całą zawartość strony, ale on mi do PDF wrzucił to, co sam sobie pobrał (czyli strona www zaraz po wczytaniu, bez żadnych interakcji z użytkownikiem).

Greg Hatch (ID: 000000fee015a574) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/28/2023 Doesn't save the rendered page - so if you're loading results on a page, or there's a loading animation on the page it won't work. Also, it still saves the document as multiple pages (as if you're printing the website) instead of a single scrollable file. Skip this download and just hit CTRL+P on your keyboard. That at least gives you options.
