Print Famous Ancestors Page

I'd like to get a color PDF of all of the images on the Famous Ancestors Page: https://www.familysearch.org/discovery/famousrelatives

Is there a way to do this? When I print to PDF from my browser, it only gives me the first page with categories and images and the rest of the pages have just the category title.

I have tried in Safari and Chrome on my MAC Book Pro. Latest operating system.

    Took more time playing around than I was planning on spending, but I can get everything to print in Safari by:

    1) Set browser to print backgrounds.

    2) Before printing, scroll to the very bottom of the page so that all the image load. Apparently to save time, nothing loads until you have actually scrolled to view it.

    Unfortunately, page breaks are not handled well so some images are cut in half. Chrome acts the same way.

    Firefox doesn't cut any pictures in half but even if all the images are loaded in the page printing falls apart at about page 12 and it will not print the last two categories.

    Thank your for posting in the Community about printing Famous Ancestors pages. Suggestions:

     You will need to search the web for a program that will do that.

     You might wish to check the Solutions Gallery at the bottom of the FamilySearch page, to see what is available there.

    We hope you find what your are looking for.

    Oh! Almost forgot to mention. Don't scroll too fast or the images in the middle section won't load. Go nice and slow and make sure every picture has time to load in so it is available to print.

    Thank you for taking the time to figure this out. Printing to PDF with Page Backgrounds worked fine.
