I installed a PDF printer program ( like this one http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp ) and then you can "print" a copy, but rather than printing it out on paper, it prints it to a pdf file.

Then all you need to do (on multi-page threads) is to select the "All" link at the top of the thread (where you can select certain pages 1,2,3,ect ect), then select Print from your browser menu, select the PDF printer instead of your physical printer, and then it will prompt you to enter a filename and where you want to save it.

Works for me.

Thanks all and severally.

I must be being a bit dim here. If I select print I get what is possibly a printable format page displayed but no options to choose a printer or indeed print at all.

I did download that pdf printer program that Tim pointed to as this particular laptop that I'm working on hasn't up till now had one (other PCs I use have), and after I had uninstalled all the other junk it shoves on the PC such as Comodo Dragon and all the ASK rubbish there was no change even setting the pdf printer as default.

Browser is Chrome, operating system Vista Business  I'll pop over to IE and see what happens !

**Later ** now on different computer, different operating system (win 7) different browser (ie 11) SAME symptoms

So how do you initiate a print to your pdf creator / printer ?
John Rudd:
I assume you have Adobe Creator installed?
if you go to install a new printer, the Adobe facility is?
Else if you go to file and  whatever options, isnt Adobe there too?

I'm not at a pc right now, so Im sort of flying blind.....
jim:
All i do is "right click", select "print", change destination to "save as PDF", the preview appears with everything in
AussieJimG:
Left click and drag to select what you want to save, then right click and copy (to clipboard).

Then paste it into a Word document.

Keep going until you have the whole thread.
