Web page saved to PDF is Blank

Question

Plugin Version: 0.98.89
OS: Windows 10 Home version 1607
Browser: Firefox 48.0.2 and Chrome 52.0.2742.116.
Webpage URL: https://www.apmreports.org/story/2016/09/01/high-school-poverty-graduation

Steps:
1. I open the browser and enter the webpage URL
2. After the page loads, I use Fireshot and select "Capture entire page and Save as PDF"
3. When the option "Shall FireShot create a multi-page PDF for this capture?" appears, if I select "No" it creates a large, blank PDF file. If I select Yes for the multi-page PDF, it works but photos and text are sometimes split between pages. This is happening in FireFox and Chrome.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Deborah

Accepted Answer

Dear Deborah, Unfortunately, this is a very long PDF page, so it cannot be saved without splitting into parts. Yes, the splitting algorithm is not perfect - I'm thinking about making it more intelligent.

Answer

Thank you Deborah for using FireShot!

Thank you for your reply -- that was an extremely long article to capture. In the end, my client was pretty happy with the result: https://cismiami.org/news/2015-2016/2016-APM-WhatItTakes.pdf. Kudos on a great program.
