Including pictures in a PDF of a web page

If I am viewing a web page, of the digital edition of a magazine or newspaper, and would like to make a PDF and send it to someone, is there a way that I can tell the web browser to include the pictures in the PDF? My experience today (well, yesterday on GMT) is that Chrome, Firefox, and MS Edge, in response to the Print command, and then directing the output to PDF rather than to a device, generate a PDF containing the words, but not the pictures. Opera has a Save to PDF command, and it creates a PDF containing the pictures and the words. Are there settings or options with Chrome, Firefox, or MS Edge to ask it to include the pictures when printing (well, really, preparing to print by creating the PDF)? Oh, yes, the operating system is Windows 10, and the PC is a desktop Dell. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:23, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Did you tick the box for "Background graphics" under "More settings"? Did you experiment with "Print with system dialog" instead? Elizium23 (talk) 01:10, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Not yet. Thank you, User:Elizium23 - I will try those. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:11, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

I didn't find "Background graphics" or "Print with system dialog". Which web browser are those options available for? I understand that with three different web browsers there may be three different options or settings. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:57, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
