Finally! A feature so blindingly obvious but missing from all browsers: Native print to PDF

Am I missing something? It's there in Firefox, at least on Linux - can't speak for Windows though.

Whoops, huge misunderstanding. Apparently this is natively supported by the print dialog in Mac OS X too. I don't usually use Macs but I do now so I thought this was a novelty.

However the print/save feature mentioned in TFA only applies to PDF documents... It doesn't allow you to directly save webpages as PDFs which was what I thought.

Nevertheless it's not possible to save webpages to pdf natively on Windows without software printers such as pdfcreator. That hasn't changed... but would be a nice feature :)

I see. I didn't know Windows didn't get that feature. I guess we still need pdfcreator and friends then!

FF4/Win7 and FF6 (Aurora)/Win7 - no way to print to PDF natively. I still need to use a virtual PDF printer driver.

From which all browsers?
