Capture as PDF
-
It would be very useful if it was possible to save a web page as PDF the same way we can do now as PNG or JPG.
If we go to File>Print, there is an option "Save as PDF" that makes exactly this. I guess that is a feature coming from Chrome. So wouldn't it be possible make a new option in the "Capture Page" menu which simply shortcuts to File>Print>SaveAsPDF? No need to re-write code, just make a shortcut so that all the "Capture" options are centralized in one place.
This would be great when we want to "download" a tutorial or some instructions about anything.

File, Print, Save as PDF is not very easy to discover. Some users never print anything from a web browser, and those that do might not discover the Save as PDF
checkboxdestination option.Putting it on the Capture Page popup would make it much more accessible too.

Hi, I don´t have this checkbox on Linux/1.16.1279.3 (Official Build) snapshot (64-bit) but I can print as PDF. Is this Windows only?Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin I do believe the PDF printer is a Windows-only thing.
-
@mib2berlin It's not actually a checkbox. One has to click on Change... to select PDF as the destination, which adds another step to output to a PDF if the current destination is a physical printer.

Ah, this was a mockup in your image.
I use this print as PDF very often on laptop for example.
Upvoted!Cheers, mib

@pesala This is exactly what I meant. I think it would be great to have the "Save as PDF" option.

I may be wrong, but the Save as PDF in the Print dialog uses the print stylesheet, which ends up with a different result.
Opera has a feature to capture/save a page as PDF as you can see it on the screen. This is different than using a PDF printer.

This is the main reason I still use Opera. Would love this option to be added to Vivaldi's Capture Page menu
