Using Firefox there is sometimes the need for saving the current page-content.
Currently it is possible to export pages to html. This results in a html-file
and a directory with additional elements (images, etc.).

It would be useful to have the possibility to export web-pages directly to pdf.

Although it is possible to install a pdf-printer the vast majority of users
won't do this. The other problem is, that using a printer all links are lost:
the resulting document only contains text.

Using IE pdf-export can be done using Acrobat Standard/Professional Plugin. For
FX there is no such possibility.

The feature should be reachable under "Save page as..." and maybe via a button
(like in OpenOffice).

See http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=122213 for a discussion and
additonal arguments.
