I just switched from Windows to Mac and still haven't found a good way to print web pages on paper or as pdf. Specifically, I am having troubles with header / footer margins and file sizes.
When using Firefox on Windows I can adjust print scale (in %) and margins so that any page I print looks good. pdf file size for a test page with a picture was 200 KB.
On OSX 10.7 I am having the following issues:
Safari:
Space between header / footer and page top / bottom is much too large. There seems to be no way of changing it.
pdf file size for the same page is 435 KB, which is acceptable.
Chrome:
pdf file size is much too large: 1.6 MB!
Header / footer margins better than Safari but still too large and not customizable.
No page scaling is possible.
Firefox:
There is no print preview!
pdf file size much too large: 1.6 MB
Header / footer margins: Same problem as with Safari
So is there a solution that lets me
- adjust print scale
- and adjust header / footer margins
- and create small pdf files?
