Hi i want to dwonload some images from a website in PDF form so when i use chrome , and give command of print, it gives option of save as pdf and saves on say 15mb file. But same thing takes 50+mb in firefox. So how to get low size file. Nowadays chrome gives overlapped advertisement in print preview hence i am not using chrome for same and switched to firefox. But firefox is slow on yerms of process and provides large files as i mentioned already.

If I understand what you are saying, you view the image in a tab (or possibly a page containing the image), then use:

menu > Page > Save as PDF

to "print" the image to a PDF file?

I don't know why there's such a big difference in the file size. Ideally, Firefox would just embed the image into the PDF "as is" without rasterizing it for printing. However, I have no idea how the converter actually works...
