Hi
I have a medical report from a website in Chrome which involves Drop Down menus with text in it
Would like everything I am seeing to Save As PDF
However, when - Print - Save As PDF is chosen - it only saves the front page and no Drop Down Text that was visible
If I highlight all the text and choose Copy - and then paste it into Word - all the formatting disappears
Is there a way of saving all the pages of website page as one file with all the drop down text visible as I am seeing on the actual website ?
Thanks

A Screen shot save and then print to pdf. EDIT or take a picture of it with phone, Try Firefox.
Other than that no as Drop downs are run by code that is separate from the page you are looking at, possibly java or CSS or...
Would be able to find it but not as it would look as you want it to.

This usually happens because dropdown content on websites is dynamic (JavaScript-based), so the browser’s “Print → Save as PDF” only captures the static part of the page.
A couple of things you can try:
- Expand all dropdowns first, then press Ctrl + P and check if they appear in preview
- Try using Reader Mode (if available) before printing
- Use the browser’s “Save page as complete HTML” option, then open it locally and print again
- Some sites have a hidden print-friendly version, which works better for PDF
If none of that works, it’s likely the website isn’t designed to export dynamic content properly, so the dropdown data won’t be included in a normal PDF print.

I use the Chrome/ium/Brave plugin GoFullPage. The free version generally does a great job of saving the entire page (yes, likely without dropdown content) and then allows you save it as PDF or PNG.
The paid version adds editing and some other very handy time-saving features.
