I use the SAVE AS PDF all the time for exactly the same reason, Rita.

Added tidbit:

If you view the pattern/webpage in READER view, you can still do the PDF, but it will only save the pattern's photos and text. All the surrounding advertising is eliminated. Makes for an easier PDF to read without the clutter. And kinder to your ink supply if you decide to print the pattern on paper.


FWIW: Using the PREVIEW application, JPG images can be amalgamated into one PDF. Drag JPGs into the PREVIEW's "Thumbnail Sidebar." Arrange each page in the preferred order. Then, EXPORT as PDF. Ta-Da!
