Then open the screenshot by clicking on the small image on the left.

This will open the page where the image can be edited, at the top it will say ‘Screen’ and ‘Full page’.

Select ‘Full page’ and the entire page will be available, with an overview showing the length on the right side.

You can then edit, cut and mark the page before saving it as a PDF on your phone.

The screen capture hack ‘works on any Apple device, but only on Safari’, according to a helpful technical assistant.

‘What! Don’t I need to take a screenshot 200 times to get the entire article? Thank you very much!’ a woman wrote.
