Some pdf's you can only fill in text in the browser. But it cannot be saved. A virtual pdf printer you do it. But the installation of for example CUPS fails (OSX 10.5.8). Any idea?

If the document has a scroll bar only the part visible gets saved. you actually have to print to pdf twice. once to copy top of document and once to copy bottom. Somebody feel free to educate me.

But... I often print pages from websites that I might want to keep for later reference (a good example is cooking recipes). But often times, I find that the PDF file does not save the file well at all. Either very odd formating, or even missing images, and type. 1) does anyone else have this issue? 2) does anyone have tips or tricks to get it to work correctly? Thanks!
