Question

Create PDF from web page with stylesheet for print

I'm trying to generate a pdf from a website with nested pages. The website uses media queries to detect print, but unfortunately these are not being used when creating the pdf through Adobe Acrobat and I can't seem to find an option to enforce this.

Does anyone know if this is somehow possible? Or do I need to change the css somehow? 

 

The css for screen does not work nicely in a pdf format, which is why the print css is needed.

I need this feature too! Any workarounds? other than duplicating the site and changing the CSS...

Acrobat's HTML to PDF converter is a pity.

Try this online converter: https://www.printfriendly.com/

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, this won't work for the nested pages. This is quite important.
