How to save a webpage as a PDF on Mac
1. Open Safari and the webpage you wish to save as a PDF.
2. Click on File in the Safari menu bar.
3. Scroll down and click on "Export as PDF" and save the file to your desktop. You will now have a PDF of the website on your desktop. When you open the PDF on your desktop, it will present the webpage as a document with hyperlinks exported from the webpage and the images embedded as well.
4. If you click on a link in the PDF, it will take you back to the website that the link points to. Before taking you there, however, it will ask if you trust the webpage you are linking to. Click on "Allow" and it will follow the link in your default browser.
