How to Save a Full Page or 'Scrolling Screenshot' as a PDF on iPhone and iPad

In iOS, Apple has extended the system's built-in screenshot feature to include the ability to save a full web page or "scrolling screenshot" as a multi-page PDF.

• Launch the Safari app on your iPhone or iPad .
• Navigate to the web page that you wish to save as a multi-page PDF.

• A preview of the screenshot will pop up in the lower left of the display. Tap it to open up the Instant Markup interface. You'll have about five seconds before it disappears.
• Tap the Full Page tab in the upper right corner of the Markup interface.
• To save the PDF, tap Done and then tap Save PDF to Files . To share the PDF, tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing out) and select how or who to share it with from the Share screen.

Note that you can also use Markup to edit your PDF before saving or sending it.

Can’t Open a PDF in Safari? Here's How to Fix That

There are a few ways to fix Safari if it refuses to open PDFs from the websites you visit. Luckily, every option is quick and easy to follow.

You’ve clicked on a link that should open a PDF in Safari. The link goes through, but you can’t see the PDF—there’s just a gray background.

You can Control-click on the PDF, and your Mac says there’s a PDF there, but you just can’t see it. Refreshing the page doesn’t fix anything, nor does restarting Safari.

I’ve been in this unusual situation before, and I can help you fix it. Read on to see how to view a PDF that Safari won’t open, and how to fix Safari so other PDFs will be visible in the future.

The Quick Fixes

If you can’t see or load a PDF in Safari, one of the easiest fixes is to stop using Safari to try to view the PDF. This means copying the PDF’s URL from Safari and pasting it into another browser, like Chrome or Microsoft Edge ( Edge works very well on Macs , for the record).

If you don’t want to open another browser though, you do have another option.

If you can Control-click on the PDF to download it or click the download button available for the PDF in the Safari window, do so. You can then open and view the PDF in Preview or your preferred PDF-viewing Preview alternative . You can drag the PDF into the Trash if you don’t end up needing it after you read it. And if you do need it in the future, you’ve already downloaded it!

These options work well, but maybe you really just want to be able to open PDFs in Safari. There are ways to do that, too, which we’ll go over in the next section.

How to Get Safari to View PDFs Again

The first place to check when you can’t view PDFs in Safari is your Safari plug-ins or extensions. It’s possible one of them is hiding the PDF from you or affecting Safari in a negative way.

To access your Safari plug-ins or extensions, open Safari > Preferences and then head to the Websites tab. Scroll down the menu on your left, and you should find the Plug-ins or Extensions headings.

Click on any plug-in in this list to see a list of current websites and whether that plug-in is working on the website where you have the PDF open. If it is, set the drop-down menu beside it to Off . Then refresh the PDF, and see if it’s visible.

With extensions, set their drop-down menus to Deny to prevent them from working. Though, if an extension is the root of the problem, it might be worth updating or removing the extension entirely to see if that improves your PDF visibility issues.

But what if you don’t have any plug-ins or extensions in your Safari preferences? Or you’ve demonstrated that they’re not the issue with seeing PDFs in Safari? The problem-causing plug-in might be hidden away in your Mac Library instead.

Specifically, the AdobePDFViewer plug-ins are likely to be the root of your problem. To find these plugins and remove them, so PDFs become visible in Safari again, head to Finder > Go > Go to Folder .

In the search window that appears, type in or copy and paste /Library/Internet Plug-ins . Locate and select all files with AdobePDFViewer in the name in the Internet Plug-Ins Finder window, and drag them into your Trash.

Your Mac may prompt you to input your password or use Touch ID to confirm you want to move these plug-ins. Do whichever you want to ensure those files go into your Trash.

Refresh the Safari window where you’re trying to view a PDF. The PDF should now be visible to you!

Different Safari PDF Visibility Fixes for Different Moments

I was very excited to find several solutions to the invisible PDF problem in Safari, and I hope my findings can help you out too.

Whether you’re happy opening PDFs in non-Safari browsers to save time or are eager to delve into your Mac’s library to improve your workflow in Safari over the long term, the tips above will help you view PDFs online when you need them.

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, how to download pdf files from safari on mac.

Wondering how to download and save PDF files from Safari to a Mac? If you frequently encounter and work with PDF documents on the web, you might be interested in saving them locally to your Mac from time to time. With Safari, it’s easy to open, save, and download PDF files to the Mac.

The process is quite simple as this tutorial will demonstrate through several different ways to download PDF files to save them to the Mac from Safari.

You may have noticed that default Safari will automatically open PDF files that are clicked into in-browser windows. That can confuse some users at first, but it ends up being OK because if we’re looking to save a PDF file that makes it very easy to do as you’ll see.

How to Download & Save PDF Files from Safari to Mac

Opening PDF files in Safari on the Mac allows them to be easily downloaded and saved to the computer, here’s how the process works:

• Open Safari on the Mac if you haven’t done so yet
• Go to the PDF file in Safari that you want to save to the Mac
• With the PDF file open in Safari, pull down the “File” menu and choose “Save As”

• Name the PDF file and select the destination to download the PDF file to and then click “Save” to download and save the PDF file locally to the Mac at that destination

In the example image here, we’re downloading a PDF document of a study (https://www.gwern.net/docs/longevity/2019-decabo.pdf) and saving it locally to the Mac desktop where it can be easily found.

How to Download PDF Files from a Link in Safari

If you want to download a linked PDF file in Safari to the Mac, that works the same as downloading any other linked item in Safari on the Mac:

• Right-click on the PDF file link and choose “Download Linked File As”

• Save the PDF file to the Mac destination as desired

You can use either method to download and save PDF files to the Mac.

How to Download & Save Linked PDF Files in Safari with Option Key

Another neat download trick for Safari that is lesser known is to hold down the OPTION key and then click the link to the PDF, or refresh the current URL if the PDF page is already open in Safari .

That will also download the PDF document directly into the Downloads folder as configured by Safari.

Note that saving a PDF file from Safari is completely different from saving a webpage as a PDF in Safari on Mac , the latter of which actually preserves the webpage as a PDF file and also saves it locally. It’s a bit redundant, but you can technically use that same save-as-pdf approach to an existing PDF too, which may be helpful in some situations if the PDF file you are trying to save is stuck in an iFrame or something similar that prevents easy access to opening, downloading, and saving the file directly.

And yet another neat trick; if you happen to forget where you got a particular PDF from but you want to know the source URL, you can retrieve a files original direct download URL using this Safari trick .

How to Make Safari Download PDF Files Instead of Opening Them

The download tips above will allow you to download PDF files from Safari, but you may still end up opening the PDF file in Safari too. If you want to download PDF instead of opening, you can try the following tricks:

Another option to download a PDF instead of opening it within Safari is this:

• Load the PDF into Safari and then click URL bar
• Hold down the OPTION / ALT key
• Hit return (or refresh the PDF on display) to download the PDF

This will instantly download the PDF file to your Downloads folder, unless you changed the download destination in Safari.

Remember that Safari defaults to using the User Downloads folder on the Mac, but you can change the Safari download location if needed to suit your preferences.

These methods work on practically all versions of Safari for basically all versions of MacOS and Mac OS X, so it shouldn’t matter what software release you are on you will be able to open, download, and save PDF files to the Mac locally if needed.

An even easier GUI way to view and save PDFs in Safari: Many PDFs when clicked on will open in a separate Window or Tab. Hover cursor near the bottom and a small tool bar will appear, showing “Magnifying Glass” icons to Enlarge +, or Shrink – the page, and, two other icons that let you Open in Preview, or, Save to Downloads. (I’d attach a pic if I could!)

Read PDFs in Safari

Table of contents.

Whether you’re a new Apple enthusiast or a seasoned user, chances are you’ve been curious about how to read PDF in Safari. This guide will dive into everything you need to know about accessing and manipulating PDFs in Apple’s web browser.

Safari’s Dominance

Safari, Apple’s in-house browser, holds a significant portion of the global web browser market. While Chrome and Firefox have their loyalists, Safari remains the go-to for many macOS and iOS users, ensuring a streamlined, integrated experience across Apple devices.

PDF Reading on Mac, iPhone, & iPad

Yes, Safari can open PDFs across all Apple devices. On Mac, PDFs generally open in Preview by default, while iPhone and iPad users get a mobile-optimized reading experience within the browser. The rendering is smooth, with intuitive pinch-to-zoom features, making reading a breeze.

Making Safari Your PDF Viewing Pro

Getting Safari to consistently view PDFs in-browser involves tweaking some settings. The key is ensuring that the AdobePDFViewer.plugin is enabled in your Internet plug-ins folder. If you’re looking for more versatility, the App Store offers extensions to enhance the reading experience.

Keep It In-Browser: Bypassing the Preview

To make Safari open PDFs directly within the browser, instead of Preview:

• Go to Finder and select ‘Library.’
• Navigate to the ‘Internet Plug-ins’ folder.
• Ensure ‘AdobePDFViewer.plugin’ is present and enabled.

Safari’s Storytelling: PDF Read Aloud Features

Safari doesn’t natively read PDFs aloud, but there are text-to-speech features in macOS and iOS. With third-party extensions or macOS’s in-built ‘Speak’ feature, your PDFs can come to life audibly.

• For easier access, save the PDF to iBooks or iCloud.

Make Safari Your Default PDF Maestro

If you’re tired of juggling multiple PDF readers on your Mac, setting Safari as the default is straightforward. Simply right-click a PDF, select ‘Open With’ > ‘Safari’, and make sure to use it as the default for all PDF files.

Downloading and Interacting with PDFs in Safari

How to Print a PDF From Your iPhone in a Few Quick Taps

You can easily make or print a PDF file in iOS from apps like Safari, Google Chrome, Gmail and Outlook.

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.

We use our phones for nearly everything, which means you might need to print documents from your mobile device occasionally. Whether it's a work-related report or a new recipe, sometimes it's just easier to read a hard copy rather than a digital file on your phone's tiny 6-inch screen.

Printing from your iPhone is simple, as long as you're connected to a printer that's compatible with AirPrint. Check out this support page on Apple's website for a list of printers that work with AirPrint. You can access the printing option in most email and web browser apps just by clicking the share button in iOS. You can also save a website or email as a PDF in the iPhone's Files app from this menu, too.

Here's how to print or save web pages and emails as PDFs on your iPhone. 

How to print or save a web page as a PDF on your iPhone

First, open the website you'd like to print in your phone's web browser.

How-To Geek

How to print to pdf on mac.

It's easy to save a printable document for later printing or for archival purposes using your Mac. Here's how to do it.

Sometimes you need to print a document, but you don't have a printer available---or you'd like to save it for your records in a stable format that will never change. In this case, you can "print" to a PDF file. Luckily, macOS makes it easy to do this from almost any app.

Apple's Macintosh operating system (macOS) has included system-level support for PDF files for 20 years now since the original Mac OS X Public Beta. The PDF printer feature is available from almost any application that allows printing, such as Safari, Chrome, Pages, or Microsoft Word. Here's how to do it.

Open the document you'd like to print to a PDF file. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, select File > Print.

A printing dialog will open up. Ignore the Print button. Near the bottom of the Print window, you will see a small drop-down menu labeled "PDF." Click on it.

In the PDF drop-down menu, select "Save as PDF."

The Save dialog will open up. Type the file name you'd like and choose the location (such as Documents or Desktop), then click "Save."

The printed document will then be saved as a PDF file in the location you chose. If you double-click on the PDF file you just created, you should see the document the way it would appear if you printed it on paper.

From there you can copy it anywhere you like, back it up, or perhaps save it for later reference. It's up to you.

If you're also a Windows user, printing to PDF on Windows 10 is easy.

The hidden way to print to PDF on iPad and iPhone

Although it's possible to lug a tiny printer with you wherever you go, it's not particularly practical. Most of us don't print enough from our phones or tablets for mobile printing to be a consideration. But what if you need to save a printout, and you don't have a printer?

• How to better organize text messages on your iPhone, thanks to iOS 17
• How to transfer data from Android to an iPhone: 2 simple and fast ways
• How to turn on 80% charging limit on the iPhone 15 to save battery health
• How to leave a FaceTime voice or video message when your call goes unanswered

For example, let's say you've completed a financial transaction, and you have the option to print the receipt. Many sites that offer a print option don't offer any sort of Save to PDF function. If you're on a PC or Mac, that's a relatively easy option to find.

But if you're on an iPad or an iPhone, all iPadOS or iOS presents to you is the Print button. As we've established, that Print button is less than useful when you don't have a printer.

Fortunately, as long as you're using iOS or iPadOS 15 (or later), there is a way. It's oddly obscure, but it's there.

I'm working on an article about using the iPad as the ultimate coloring book, and I wanted to import a PDF. As it turns out, Crayola (the crayon company) has a bunch of printable coloring book pages. One such page is this NASCAR image. I'm all about fast cars, so I wanted to download it.

But, as you can see, a typical printer dialog box opens up when I hit the Print Now button. In this case, I have no printer selected, but if you click on Printers to select a printer, there's no way to print to a PDF.

The hidden trick

Here's the hidden trick. As I said, you must be running iOS or iPadOS 15 for this to work. Now, rather than just tapping the blue Print prompt, press and hold it. At this point, the hidden share card pops up:

Choose Save to Files. You can save to iCloud or On My iPad. I chose On My iPad and then pointed the file to the folder where I'll be using it. You can save the PDF anywhere you wish.

I have to wonder why this feature is hidden. Why isn't there a share icon? How is someone supposed to know they need to press and hold Print unless they read an article like this?

Did you know about this trick? Have you wanted to be able to do something like this without purchasing and installing an add-on app? Let us know in the comments below.

Flooding Inundates Kenya, Killing at Least 32 and Displacing Thousands

Heavy rains also pounded other nations in East Africa, including Tanzania, where at least 155 people were killed, according to the country’s prime minister.

Days of torrential rains have pummeled parts of Kenya, leaving at least 32 dead, 15 injured and more than 40,000 people displaced, according to officials. The flooding has killed nearly 1,000 farm animals and destroyed thousands of acres of crops, with more rain expected across the country in the coming days.

The rains began in March during what is known in the country as the “long rains,” but intensified over the past week, according to the Kenya Meteorological Department .

Heavy rains have also pounded other nations across East Africa. In Tanzania, at least 155 people were killed and 236 others injured from the relentless rain that has swept several parts of the country in recent days, Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa said on Thursday.

The rains affected some 200,000 people, Mr. Majaliwa added, and caused damage to farms, bridges, roads, schools and places of worship. The Tanzania Meteorological Authority warned that heavy rains and strong winds would continue to pummel several towns and cities, including the port city of Dar es Salaam.

In Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, where some of the country’s heaviest rain has fallen, more than 30,000 people have been displaced, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs . On Tuesday, 18 people there were stranded and later rescued, including seven children, the Kenya Red Cross Society said.

Edwin Sifuna, the Nairobi County senator, said on social media that the local government there was “clearly overwhelmed,” and he called on the federal government for help.

“The situation in Nairobi has escalated to extreme levels,” he wrote in a post that included a video of people stranded on rooftops surrounded by floodwaters.

Kithure Kindiki, cabinet secretary for the Interior Ministry, said in a social media post on Thursday that several government agencies were beginning a joint operation to assist the victims, conduct rescues and evacuate those who remain at risk.

The heavy rains on Wednesday forced Kenya Railways to suspend commuter train services. The Kenya Urban Roads Authority also partially closed four major roads in Nairobi and warned of heavy flooding along several major highways in the capital and in the coastal city of Mombasa.

The rains were not expected to subside over the next few days, according to the Kenya Meteorological Department, which had rain in the forecast for parts of the country, including Nairobi, through Monday. The agency also warned of a high likelihood of breakouts of diseases such as malaria and diarrhea in some areas.

The latest downpours come just months after torrential rains and floods killed dozens of people and displaced thousands more nationwide.

Here are photographs of the flooding in Kenya:
