Sometimes you must send a proper PDF. And saving a page to PDF (or "printing") is a basic feature of a browser. They shouldn't release a mobile browser without that. Also, sending a low quality screenshot of a mobile screen isn't a professional thing.

>Also, sending a low quality screenshot of a mobile screen isn't a professional thing. Cause a pdf is much more professional just because you open it in Adobe vs your photo gallery... This is bar none some of the most business oriented pretentiousness I've ever read on here. There is nothing wrong with image files and screenshots. It's just a file format. The fact that you save one as a pdf doesn't change the fact that, again, the content is the absolute same. Anybody who is that anal about how they receive a file that does the exact same thing is completely out of touch. In my experience, only old people say the things you're saying cause they don't know how to work with various files.

  Screenshots doesn't scale properly and destroy all information about text (not that PDF stores text properly, but at least PDF readers succeed with various tricks to recover it).

    Exactly. Being able to copy data from the PDF instead of relying on OCR or copying by hand is a great asset. Also, in my country if I send plain screenshots from important things like bank transfers, legal documents instead of the generated PDF file I get politely asked to send them again. If the original is on paper a good quality scan is OK though. And, you can't certificate or password protect image files (unless you use another format as a container).

  Some reading material for you. Being an ass is already annoying, but being an ass without even primary school level knowledge of the topic at hand is unacceptable. PDF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics Screenshot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics See also: aspect ratio, custom print CSS, webpages that are longer than one screen height (all of them!)
