PDF printing from Firefox in Ubuntu Hardy



Hopefully, this will prove useful to anyone who is trying to print a webpage using the CUPS-PDF virtual printer only to find that the resulting file has truncated text because the webpage was too wide (e.g. menu frame on the side).


Resizing the page using Zoom only changes what you see on the screen rather than what you print.

1. In Firefox, use FILE - PAGE SETUP to change the size to something larger, e.g. A3

2. Then CTRL+P to print, but instead of using the 'Print to PDF' option, choose 'Print to File instead. In the window that opens, then select PDF as 'Output Format'.
