How to print a web page INCLUDING the background (color) (to a pdf document) ?

[Tobias Merler]

When I print from IntExp 6 under WinXP+SP2 a web page to a pdf document the
background is normally omitted.

Is there a way to force IntExp to print the background as well ?
Or is this a setting of the actual pdf printer driver?

I used
Jaws pdf writer
and
PdfFactory Pro

but neither of them show an option "print background"

Alternativly I could print a page from Firefox. Is there an otion to print the backgroud color ?

I had no problems doing background colors and images in Acrobat 7.0.8. All I
used was the Internet Explorer option to print them to PDF Distiller print
driver. I don't use the 'Create PDF' button that shows in the toolbar.

Hi Tobias,
On IE page Click Tools >> Internet Options >> Click On Advanced Tab and
scroll down to this Option;
[#] Printing
[ ] Print Background colors and images. check box
Click ok to Confirm your Changes amd close IE Properties and Hif F5 to
refresh.
If no joy try your Printer setting on printer managment Utility should have
an option to print background coors and images.
HTH.
Please let us know your findings.

None of the browsers do it properly, because at most they give you table background colours. This web site is the only way I've found to get a fully accurate rendering in PDF:

Incidentally, Chrome doesn't even have the option at all.
