safari download as html

Hi cynthia0106,

We see your PDF downloads are saving as HTML in Safari. Which device and software version are you using?

What method are you using to save the file?

Also, does this happen with all websites?

If you're using a Mac, see if this helps: Print or create a PDF of a webpage in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

"When printing or creating a PDF of a webpage, you can include its background image and color, and show the web address and date in headers and footers.

1. In the Safari app  on your Mac, choose File > Print.
2. Click the options pop-up menu (in the separator bar), choose Safari, then set the webpage printing options.
3. If you don’t see the options pop-up menu in a separator bar to the right of the page preview, click Show Details at the bottom of the Print dialog.
4. To create a PDF of the webpage, click PDF at the bottom of the dialog, then choose what you want to do with the PDF."

Best wishes.

Hi cynthia0106,

Make sure you follow the steps we've shared above to download pages from Safari. Have you tried downloading files from another site? If you have and they downloaded correctly, it may be the website those documents reside on. You can reach out to the company to see if the files have been formatted correctly.

Contact Apple Support if you need more help.

All the best.
