Images Not Printing to PDF

   I want to print an article to PDF so I can upload it as a file to a Facebook group. I can do this with the Hubpages author view version and images are included, but when I print the version on a network site, images are left out. Has anyone managed to do this or know of a workaround?
   Another issue is that our profile link in the author view links to the article. Can this be changed so that it points to our profile?
   Also if I upload a PDF file, is this duplication or is content on Facebook groups still not indexed?

      Can you copy and paste it into a Google doc? Google docs can be saved as pdf. Otherwise I would try saving the images from the article you want and uploading them to the pdf.

         Maybe, but there's around 30 images so it's tedious. I would like to do this with several articles. Another one has 50 photos. I reckon the issue is that images aren't embedded in the HTML on article pages like they used to be and hosted separately (I think this is the case, they're probably stored separately on the Say Media server and the code pulls them in when an article is viewed).

            Have you tried copying and pasting it to Medium and then to a pdf? That seems like a crazy work around, but maybe it would make it easier with pictures?

               No, I'll try that. I just wanted to upload an article as a fue to a gardening group. Th next problem is that that file may be seen by Google as duplicate content because they've started indexing content on groups (it used to only be Facebook page content), so I may have to delete it. Also I back up the webpages of my articles, but my fear is that newer versions of browsers by have difficulty reading the HTML, so saving as a PDF would be better. Also printing to PDF from author view sometimes splits up photos from one page to another and that's another problem.
