i would expect that most sites will not save well as a pdf
they are javascript and php and perl and ruby driven from databases and from other sites
you can try to save it a a postsctipt ( print to file) a "*.ps" file or a pdf from "print to file"
-- i just tried
the pdf IS GARBAGE and almost unusable the page formatting is TRASHED and basically unusable crap
NONE!!!! of the "code" sections are usable they are ALL cut off and unusable
but for replacing OpenJDK with Oracle java you REALLY SHOULD use your packagemanager
yum
dnf
zypper
apt-git
packman
With the whole variety of web pages forms out there as well as what I coin as active content, such as flash, or embedded video, plus animated images I'm sitting here wondering what the benefit/requirement is.
You can save it likely as HTML, as web page complete, as text, and also take a screen shot. Pretty much most of those things you can then import into a PDF. Likely I'd follow a procedure like that so that I could make the presentation appear as I wanted it too, not just raw information. For instance, a black rectangle where an active image or video was, I'd probably fix that.
And maybe you can save it directly as PDF, but the question here really is what you're saving and how you intend to use it beyond just grabbing the content.
I saved file and open it in Libreoffice but some photo can't be loaded from internet.
Can you save "http://www.tecmint.com/install-openldap-server-and-administer-with-phpldapadmin-in-debianubuntu/" as PDF for me?

Well, the raw PDF print from Firefox doesn't look good at all, after importing into LibreOffice 5...all the images loaded fine, but there are some Javascript elements pertaining to the images (I'm guessing a zoom feature) that didn't quite render right.
After I got rid of the JS elements, I exported it as a PDF and cut out the nonessentail pages with PDF Mod.
