How do I take a screenshot?

I need to take screenshots of a few of my Yahoo! site pages so I can make pdfs to send away for a competition. The Grab app in OSX 10.6 will not allow me to take a screenshot of the whole height of the page, because you cannot scroll and select at the same time. Grabbing a window or a frame also only captures what is visible on the screen at the time. Saving the page (File - save page as) gives me 7 pages of text before I see the actual content. It also removes the URL at the top, and I have to include that in my pdf. At the end of the day, ANY trick that gets me a pdf of the complete page with URL, will do.

Would using an add-on like this be suitable? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-as-pdf/?src=search
