Export With Adobe Acrobat
If you have Adobe Acrobat software on your desktop, you're in luck. Acrobat is basically the king of all things PDF, and it can help you out. Use the software to export or convert PDFs to different file formats, including image formats. Follow these steps:
Once you're done exporting the file, navigate to the folder where you saved the new file, and there you have it: an image ready for Facebook upload.
Use an Online Converter
Plenty of free file-type converters are available online, including ones that convert PDF files to image formats.
Visit the PDF Converter website, for example, to convert a PDF file to JPG format. This site can also change a PDF to PNG or TIFF image format.
Convert Screenshot To TextTake a Screenshot
This one's probably the simplest option. If you open the PDF file on your desktop and take a screenshot of it, your computer will save that screenshot as an image file – most likely in the PNG format. Facebook works well with PNG files, so you shouldn't have any problems uploading this screenshot to the social media platform.

This method is a little convoluted, but it works, so here goes:

You’ve taken pictures of a paper document using your Android phone, and now you need to send it to someone. We’ll show you an easy way you can convert these images to a PDF file to make it easier to share this document.
RELATED:The Best Ways to Scan a Document Using Your Phone or Tablet
Ideally, you’d photograph those documents using a document scanner app, which would turn them into a PDF automatically. But if you took the pictures and didn’t think to download a document app, this method will work just fine. You can also combine images into a PDF file in Windows and on a Mac, which is somewhat easier than on Android.
We’re going to use a free app called Image to PDF Converter, so install the app from the Play Store and then either open it from the Play Store page or tap on the icon that’s added to the Home screen.
A blank white screen displays with a toolbar at the top. To add images you want to convert, tap the plus sign icon on the toolbar.
Folders on your device containing images are listed. Tap on the folder containing the images you want to include in your PDF file.
To select the images, click the selection button at the top of the screen.
All the images are selected. If you want to leave some images out, simply tap on them to deselect them. When you’ve selected the images you want, tap the check mark icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.
The files are added in order based on the file names. To reorder them differently, tap the sort icon on the toolbar.
Say you want to reverse the order of the image files. On the Sort dialog box, tap the “File Name (Z to A)” selection bubble. To go back to the original sort order, tap “File Name (A to Z)”. You can also sort by File Time, beginning with the oldest (File Time with the down arrow) or the most recent (File Time with the up arrow).
You can also manually reorder the image files by tapping and holding on the three-bar icon with the up and down arrows for an image file and dragging it up or down to move it to a different place in the list.
Once you’ve set the order of your image files, tap the “PDF” button on the toolbar.
You can either choose not to resize the images or you can set specific maximum sizes for the width and height of each image. We chose to leave the images as they are. Tap “Save PDF” to create the PDF file.
The Done screen tells you how many pages are in the PDF file and where the PDF file was saved on your device. You can either tap “Send to” to share the PDF file in one of many ways, or “Open PDF” to open the PDF in any app on your device that will read PDF files.
RELATED:How to Easily Select Your Default Apps in Android 6.0 Marshmallow
For example, first we’ll open the PDF file to see how it turned out. When you tap “Open PDF”, a popup displays with all the options available on your device for viewing PDF files. The option last used (if you’ve opened any PDF files before from this app) is listed at the top of the popup. If you want to use that app, simply tap “Just Once” to open the PDF file using this app just this time, or tap “Always” if you want to use that app every time to open PDF files. You can change default apps in Android 6.0 Marshmallow at any time. To view the PDF file using a different app, pull up on the popup with your finger to expand the menu and select an app from the list.
In our example, we opened the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat.
Once you’re sure the PDF file looks good, use the back button on your device to return to Image to PDF Converter. At this point, you could use the “Send to” button on the Done screen to send the PDF file to someone, but you may have noticed that when the PDF file is created, it’s labeled with the date and a number. Before sharing the file, it might be useful to rename it with a descriptive name.
To rename the PDF file, tap the “PDF files” icon on the toolbar.
A list of all the PDF files you’ve generated in the Image to PDF Converter app displays. Select the PDF file you just created by tapping on the selection bubble to the right of the file name.
Then, tap on the rename icon on the toolbar at the top of the screen.
On the Rename File dialog box, enter a new name for the PDF file in the “New filename” edit box and tap “OK”.
The new name displays in the list. To share the PDF file, make sure the file you want to share is selected (the selection bubble for that file should be blue) and then tap the share icon on the toolbar.
The “Share with” popup menu displays. Pull up with your finger on the menu to expand it and tap on the app you want to use to share the PDF file. For example, if you want to email the file, tap on the email app you use. Or, you can upload it to Dropbox and then share the location.
Then you can get that PDF where it needs to go, and no one has to shuffle through a series of JPEGs to read your document.

I'm looking for a way to convert a webpage to PDF, but preserving the webpage's look. Also preserving webpage's text (being selectable), searchable [Generating image screenshot for the webpage would make text neither selectable nor searchable].
I'm looking for printing the webpage to PDF as is (as on web browser) without any manipulation on style or alignment, or loss of any webpage's static components.
This would help preserving offline copies of webpages that are easily readable, annotateable and searchable.
You don't need to read any of below (Question is just the above section) in order to get my question. The following section is just listing of what I've got through research or others' answers in a nested way in order to reach an answer for the question.
Research Outcomes (Suggestions that didn't solve my problem)
Outcomes till now on trying to find a solution (All still not working as a solution for this question)
I've tried these PDF web printing engines but all manipulate pages' look, more even damaging and making some hardly readable: (Example page screenshots are included in square brackets)
All webpage screenshot image capturing plugins (e.g. Abduction, Awesome Screenshot, Fireshot, Firefox Screenshot Developer Tool, Full Page Screen Capture, Page2Images, web-capture, ..) don't answer my question, because they don't preserve text and links.
Scrible is great at preserving webpages as is for further annotation and research, but unfortunately still online and without conversion to PDF format.
There are two other questions on the community similar somehow to mine, however, this one is different a little bit but with those important distinctions:

We faced the same problem in a University project and were able to solve it using
We quite enjoyed the capabilities of this tool on the command line. We also called it using python code to render the current state of webpages. It has the option to deliver the webpage as pdf, usually not perfect to preserve the website view due to the Page formatting (A4 for example), or as png (preserves the view of the page but not links)
There is also the readability(for Python:pypi.python.org/pypi/readability-lxml) project we used that does the ads removal and content detection quite well (e.g. for newspaper articles and the like). If you just want an addon or extension for your browser the following readability implementation might satisfy your need:

If you're on Linux, try this small command line tool CutyCapt, which depends only on Qt and QtWebkit, and exports to PDF.

I had the same problem, and figured it out via Chrome and with a printer driver called PDF995, which I downloaded safely and for free (one link to download is https://pdf995.en.softonic.com/ another is http://downloads.tomsguide.com/pdf995,0301-829.html).
However, I think any web browser and any pdf converter will suffice. Anyway, here's what I did:

I really struggled with this and tried most of the tools that are mentioned so far. The best results I got was using Chrome's headless mode. The command on MacOS would look like this:
The best list of command line options I found was here.
However there were problems with that. Specifically my pages are very javascript heavy and I couldn't make the print function wait for them to finishexecution. So my output didn't have the images in it.
The solution I found was a nodeJS package:
chrome-headless-render-pdf . It's scant documentation is here. It works and it is easily scriptable.

Although not exactly your request as not in PDF, if the objective is purely to keep an offline copy of webpages for later review, saving it as webpage would do just that.
The big caveat is that it will create a .html file and a folder with all the media content on the page rather than a single document.
In Chrome and Firefox, you can save a page doing a right click on it and choosing Save as..In Internet Explorer, you can save it under File -> Save as (pressing the Alt key for the menus to appear).

At least all of the text on some pages is searchable, selectable, cut and pastable. I tried on a page pasted up up robotically by a computer out of text and pix and it it tuned it all into an image.
I have used these things for years. I get the best results in Linux by rebuilding the page in a XX word of your choice and exporting the result as a PDF. I can get what I want at considerable cost. From the my limited use arch ivin The site David Herse put up https://lomotoh.com/ (I am NOT affiliated with this site) works as well as any I have ever used. I will be my go to resource to cover webpages to PDFs until I find better or it cost too much for me to pay out of my own thin purse.
