Multiple page not working

Question

I posted this over in Premium Support, but as I'm not getting any response over there (over 2 weeks waiting so far), I'm going to post here too.

One of the main reasons I upgraded to Pro was so that I would get multiple page pdf captures, instead of single page pdfs that are 30"+ long that can't be printed. This worked for a little bit when I installed the Pro version, but no longer works. I checked all of the options, and there is an option under Editor Options/General/Confirmations for "create multi-page PDF files" which was set to "Ask." The problem is that it NEVER asks. Then, when I set that setting to "Create automatically," it still doesn't work, and I still giant a giant, single page pdf.

I have confirmed that I have the Pro version installed, so that's not the issue.

Accepted Answer

Hello, do you get different results, if you select 'Capture to PDF' and 'Capture and Edit '+ Save from the Editor?

Answer

Hello, we will introduce a Save to PDF dialog in one of the next releases. This should solve this issue.

Answer

At the moment, FireShot decides automatically, if the page should be split into parts - when you choose 'Capture and save as PDF'. But there's a little trick: if you choose 'Capture and Edit', then save the capture from the Editor, it will ask you, whether you want to split it into pages or not. Hope this helps.

Answer

Hello, if you choose the option 'Save as PDF' in one of these options, FireShot should ask you about this. If not, please check this option in Settings: https://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/1200/9063195944.png

Answer

error: 'out of memory while trying to create jpeg'. I get this whenever I capture a page. Version 0.98.96 Windows 10 latest build Chrome Version 75.0.3770.100 (Official Build) (64-bit) steps to reproduce: Capture entire page and save Website URL: Any URL that has a long page. Example: https://getfireshot.com/using.php Thank you for your report. Unfortunately this is limited by your system resources. Try rebooting your PC or freeing some resources to get more free memory. Alternatively, you can save screenshots to PDFs.

Answer

Charlie, please press the SHIFT key when you start capturing to PDF and keep it pressed until you see the dialog.

Capture and Edit and then saving actually ended up saving to multiple pages, though it messed with some of the formatting of the page. Obviously I don't want to have to go through that additional step every time, though.

I can verify this behavior in v0.98.93 (pro trial) on Win 7 (64-bit) & Chrome 67.0.3396.99 (64-bit). The only way I was able to see a prompt for a multi-page capture was to use the Capture & Edit mode. Otherwise, I'm not prompted to save multiple pages, nor does the program perform that function automatically, even when the multi-page setting in the settings menu is set to Always.

Have you created a "save to multiple pages" for pdf format yet? If so, can you post how to make such a capture, particularly if there is some setting that needs changed in order to have the option) with screenshots to show the way? I know this used to exist, so not sure what changed, but really need to have it back please. Thanks

Thanks, i have a question about your "But there's a little trick: if you choose "Capture and Edit", then save the capture from the Editor, it will ask you, whether you want to split it into pages or not. " Can you add screenshots that show how to do this? I select "Capture Entire Page and Edit", and that takes me to a page that i assume is the Editor, but when i choose "Save" the drop down choices are "Save As" and "Advanced Save" and "Save All" or "Save Project" - none of which seem to give me the option to split it into multiple pages. Thanks

I am experiencing the problem with no longer being able to produce multiple page PDF's. No General section showing in options. It is not listed in Confirmations, and it is not given as a save option when I try to capture and edit.
