when print a webpage to pdf file the page print as an image. Chrome does the same. So I cannot copy and paste from that pdf file!!
IE and Edge do not do that why?

In Firefox, I think this usually occurs when the page uses a web font rather than a built-in font on your system. Chrome may do it for its own reasons.
I sometimes go to great lengths to switch the fonts so I can get a text-based PDF, but it's difficult to justify all that work.
One possible alternative is an extension that uses Firefox's built-in (but hidden) "Save as PDF" feature. Here are a couple of extensions to look at:
- Single Purpose: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/page-to-pdf/
- Multi-purpose: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxytab/
Thank you for the info. I tried both addons but neither of them resolved the problem I have

Do you mean the PDFs created by the extensions were also image files, or they do not do a good job creating the PDF compared with printing to your regular PDF printer driver?
