If you’re trying to save a webpage as PDF in Chrome, you usually want one of two outcomes:

  • A print-friendly PDF (paged, clean margins)
  • A long-page capture preserved as a PDF (multi-page output)

This guide covers both.

TL;DR

  • Use Chrome Print if the page is simple (articles, docs).
  • Use a capture → export flow if the page is dynamic or very long.
  • For the cleanest PDF on long pages: make the browser window narrower first.

Lliben captures the page and opens it in Lliben Capture, where you can export as PDF.

  1. Open the page in Chrome.
  2. In Lliben, choose a capture mode (for most docs, Full Page is ideal).
  3. In Lliben Capture, choose Export → PDF.
  4. Pick a page size:

- A4 (best default for most countries)

- Letter (common in the US/Canada)

- Custom (when you need a specific layout)

Tip: if you want the PDF to look like a document, make your browser window narrower before capturing (roughly document width). It reduces total pixels and produces cleaner pagination on very long pages.

Option 2: Chrome “Print” (quick, but not always clean)

Chrome can print a page to PDF:

  1. Ctrl+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+P (Mac)
  2. Destination: Save as PDF
  3. Adjust layout / margins and save

This works well for article-style pages, but can struggle with complex layouts or pages that change while printing.

If you’re searching for “print webpage to PDF fix”: try narrowing the browser window (document width) and/or exporting via a capture workflow instead of printing a dynamic layout.

Tip: If your PDF breaks mid-page or clips sections, it’s often a layout/render timing issue. Try the capture workflow or print after the page fully loads (and stop auto-refreshing pages).

Troubleshooting (long pages, weird breaks, missing sections)

  • Long page + 4K/5K monitor: make the browser window narrower and try again.
  • Dynamic pages (infinite scroll): wait for content to load and consider using a slightly increased Scroll Delay.
  • Need edits before exporting: use Lliben Capture to crop/annotate first, then export.
