full screen shot pdf missing from iOS and iPadOS 14.5
Hmmm. The full screen shot feature that allowed you to save a screen shot into a .pdf of the entire webpage is not working for me in iOS 14.5 or iPad0S 14.5. Anyone else?

To the right of the address bar there is an icon with an up arrow breaking out of a square, the share button. Click that.
Option 1
Look for “markup”.
After clicking “markup”, the screen turns into a pdf of your entire screen in scroll. Click the share button on this screen, you’ll see the option for “save to files”, which saves the entire screen in scroll as a pdf.
After this action, you are brought back to the pdf markup screen. To exit the markup screen, click “done” on the far left, then “delete pdf” to exit. As long you already saved to files while in markup, “delete pdf” only means the markup pdf you are looking at on the screen, your saved pdf remains intact.
Option 2
Upon first entering markup page, click “done” on the far left. This will bring a “save file to” option. After you save from here, you are immediately brought back to the active web page from which you first went into markup.

I just tested on iPad and iPhone (12 pro) 14.5.1 : it works in both cases. The procedure I used :
Hi, in my case I had the Safari icon on a Folder. if I open safari from there the option won't come on. but if I put the icon on the root (home) it work!!. after months of trying finally solved. works in the same way for the mail app, and other app that had html format...
This worked for me on iOS 14.7 but not until after I restarted my phone. At first I made the change in Settings > Safari > Advanced > Experimental described above, then switched to Safari and did not see any change (i.e. still no Full Screen option). After restarting Safari, still nothing. After restarting my iPhone, it now works. 👍
In the menu where you would add a bookmark, there’s a markup option. When that opens, you can save the pdf from there
It seems that the Markup-icon only shows for certain web pages not all of them. My experience with the former feature was that it was working independant of the structure of the showed page. Now the site-structure seems to affect the functionality.
One indicator that proves that IOS sees different pages in different ways, is the presented object types that can be selected for a object after pressing the share button.
This site shows the Markup-icon as seen below:
The below site doesn’t show the Markup icon:
As seen below, this page present other object types in the share page:
So something have been changed in the functionality, which now seems to have crippled the possibility to create a PDF of any webpage in Safari.
A more technical explanation of the changes would be appreciated from Apple, thanks!
Are you in Safari? It only works in Safari.
My iOS is 14.6 on iPhone X. Please note, the "Full Page" option should work if you're browsing in Safari but not within most external apps.
Not sure why that didn’t work for you. It is working here, and for others.
Click the share button and go to markup. Within that, click the share button again for the save to .pdf.
They are standard options in share buttons. Hope it works for you.

A flexible alternative is to use Picsew Pro ($1.99 In-App Purchase). The app cleverly uses iOS Control Center's Screen Recording feature to record you slowly scrolling through whatever multi-screen content you want to grab into a single "screenshot" image. Picsew calls it Scrollshot Recording – see this video demo. There's even an option to auto-remove the right-side scrollbar and offers pixel width settings for the resulting screenshot.

Yes, Safari. On both iPhone and iPad. I saw in a Reddit the issue was brought up too.
It works for me, which I am only saying because it’s obviously not universal. So a restart or reset might fix it?
I’m having the same issue. The “Screen/Full Page” option is gone. It was working for me before I did the latest iOS update to 14.5.1.
Thanks WatchUp. There are some, like me, which that doesn’t work. “Full page” doesn’t show up. The alt to that is to go through the markup menu.
Hmmm. Not sure why. The procedures worked for me and others.
After you go into markup, the entire webpage should have turned into a pdf. You should be able to scroll it. Sometimes, it seems like it’s stuck but you should be able to get it to scroll to see that it is the full page.
Or just save it according to the instructions, and then when you open the file it should be the full webpage pdf.
If that doesn’t work, I don’t have any more info or clarifications than this.
