convert a very long web page into a single-page pdf file

Print using system settings
paper size -> customize, set a large length parameter while maintaining the width
Then save to pdf


If you want to do text recognition by Adobe acrobat, you can't let the length be over 45 inch.
So you'll have to proportionally decrease width, length and scale, all of these three parameters.

China Eastern Airline : Please select Nationality 中国东方航空(东航):请选择居住国

When you are trying to add a passenger and fill in their personal information to get both boarding passes, this usually pops up. The bug is intrinsic and there is no way to fix it because the pop-up form they ask you to fill about a co-traveler's information doesn't have the item of Nationality to choose. So the app will never get the nationality it requires to proceed.

The solution is: use a computer to get your boarding pass.
