Consistent Graphic overlap problem when converting HTML to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

[papa67173485]

Hi. I am on windows 10, using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, and when I try to save HTML pages such as Facebook or Twitter as PDF documents, they often have problems such as certain graphics and photos blocking out and covering out other text, graphics, and photos.
Here is an example of what I regularly deal with.
Can anyone offer advice on how to conquer this?
PS. I am using the "print-save as PDF" method, as opposed to using adobes own "convert to Adobe PDF" which just hangs there forever.
Any help appreciated.Thanks! https://imgur.com/U58r8Yd

Hi Papa,

I'm sorry but there's not too much that can be done about this.

Here's the deal: there are essentially two parts to a web page, the html and the CSS. Consider the html as the brick and boards of a house and the CSS as the architectural plans (or how bricks and boards are laid out).

Add to this that Facebook is not as simple as "just" html and CSS, it's also a fairly complex database.

You may occasionally see a web page with a "Print" option on the page, This allows you to select a CSS that the programmer designed to lay things out to properly be printed out on a page. Facebook has neither interest nor desire to make things easy for you to print a page out because they want eyeballs on the page to look at all the adds they want you are probably ignoring.

One option you might consider is to use the screen capture software, Snagit. One of the features they offer within that app (for Mac and Windows, Global Leader in Screen Recording and Screen Capture | TechSmith ) is Scrolling. This means that you can select a long web page and take a screenshot of a long long web page. Then you can run that through Acrobat to create a PDF of that page. This will not be perfect (it'll probably have less than desired cuts on where things are broken for page breaks) but it will be better than what you're getting now.

Unfortunately that's about the best you'll be getting, it's not Acrobat's fault.

Actually I found that selecting "A1" as paper size when saving to pdf, kills the graphic overlay problem totally.
Now, I just need to figure out how to stop the pages from splitting photos,. sometimes a photo will be split between the end of one page and the beginning of another.
Any ideas for that? And thanks for the reply! I'm fairly new to this! Thanks!

hi Papa,

Sorry there is no way to stop that. If you want proper looking pages with total control you’ll have to copy the text out, copy the images out and reconstruct the pages from scratch in Word or (better yet), InDesign

There have been times when I did all that myself.

Good luck!
