Trying to print PNG graphics in a gmail email message body
In FF, I try to capture the PNG graphics inside the message body of a gmail. I choose Print, print to pdf and it saves one page - not the 7 pages. I then chose Microsoft Print to PDF and it also just saved one page. I can copy/paste jpgs in the message body into Word or Libre Writer but not PNGs. Is there an easier way to accomplish this? Thanks.

I suppose it is a huge graphic. If that's the case, then I suspect Firefox is set to "fit [width] to the page". And because the same driver is used to print on paper or on pdf, then the same size adjustments occur.
Assuming your graphic is really a large one, here are a few ideas:
– In Firefox, select Print, then select the type of printing you want (ex: Microsoft Print to PDF), then select "More parameters", and further down, select the % of enlargement you want.
– Alternatively, in Firefox, right-click on the image and select "Save as". Then save it on your desktop and do whatever you want with the file. You could import it in a graphic program, print it from the desktop (I think it can be done via Paint)... or even paste it in a blank word-processor document.

Maybe all the images aren't loaded. Try scrolling the page to the bottom before printing.
Did you remember to check the "Print backgrounds" option?

The PNGs are not large. They are graphics of small boxes displaying how a task is done in software. There's text and then the graphic follows or is next to it. If the graphic is a jpg I can copy/paste the text and the graphic into Word or Libre Writer and it all copies fine. It will not copy a PNG in a gmail. There are too many to keep saving each PNG as a separate file and then importing those graphics one-by-one into Word or Writer later. I do have "Print backgrounds" option activated. Thanks.
