The Limitations of Google Chrome's 'Save as PDF'

Let's face it: the blank window with the blue button on your PC that attempts to resolve your code into a clean file messes it up the majority of the time. With over 70% of total web traffic flowing through modern implementations, browsers seem to have stagnated in 2012 when it comes to "Print to Document".

Classic Errors That Destroy Your Productivity

• *Broken horizontal scrolling:* Your table is too wide, hence the PDF shows a blank fragment on the right side.
• *Forced bookmarks:* Date, time, and the ugly URL address pinned at the top and bottom without your permission.
• *Fallback fonts:* The elegant typography of your logo is lost.

To escape these restrictions and recover the lost pixels of corporate design, it is crucial to rely on top-tier online microservices.

Does Chrome keep internal text links in the PDF?
