I'm trying to download a pdf from a website. The "print pdf" isn't working. Just downloads the first page.
PDF Xchange Tools isn't working, same problem.
I thought to try the PDF Xchange Chrome extension but can't find it. Help says it comes with my download but I'm not seeing it in my account. ?

Re: Chrome Extension
Hello, NicePDFAlways
The Chromium-browser Addin is part of PRO installations specifically, I don't believe it is part of Editor or Plus installs, as it requires components of the Standard printer.
With that said, if the webpage itself is only offering the first page when printing, and even their inbuilt "download" button does the same, it might be that the website or the file being viewed on that web server are configured to do this intentionally - our browser addin may not fare any better.
Kind regards,

The problem is the pdf tools don't properly deal with an online pdf manual that has chapters. You have to scroll to get more pages and use the table of contents to jump to pages. The particular manual I'm wanting to download doesn't have a download button.
So the "webpage to pdf" tools are really just scrolling snip tools. Taking a picture of the webpage. What they should do is scrape every page of it and create pages out of it and a table of contents. This would be a proper "generate pdf".

Hello, NicePDFAlways
I am sorry to say that is not a limitation of our capabilities, but an aspect of how that website is designed then. If you are opening a proper PDF file, or the website is able to fully render the entire document at once on the webpage, than our software can convert it. Outside of those scenarios, it is beyond out purview. You may want to contact the website managers and request a copy of the file in question directly, if their site does not offer a download, and will not render enough of the file for our printer to utlize.
