That results in an image sitting inside a PDF; the text is rendered 
inaccessible, and the file size of the document will be increased 
substantially.

I have a problem converting my web pages, which are CSS driven into  PDFs 
(users usually do Right Click - convert page to PDF) - they  need to send 
those pages for client approval in the PDF format.The pages in PDF 
display very poorly, not all CSS images are  displayed, CSS formatting is 
completely off...


Does anybody have any idea, what's the best approach to tame the CSS 
pages and convert them to PDF?

Thank you!

That would be my choice if size is not an issue -  png if it is, though 
those can be pretty big.

It's not a web file - it's a file for the client. If they have 
accessibility issues, then you need to find another way, but then I'd 
question the logic of sending them layouts to check



Rae Buerckner wrote:

Only if you're serving this to general users. The OP was specific about 
sending layout examples to the client, not serving to the Net at large.



[slightly OT] I've kind of given up on persuading people not to top 
post, but can people please trim their responses to the relevant bits? 
We don't need the whole thread in every post, and we *really* don't need 
an ever expanding set of footers.[/OT]

The alternate route *is* the solution.

Not really helpful, but the example works fine in Safari 4. Could mean  
this is a bug specific to Safari 3.
