Issue creating multi-page PDF documents

Well, I can only work with the samples but the way I created the PDF in Safari was to chose "Print…" from the file menu, made sure "All" was selected, then clicking on the PDF button and chose "Save as PDF" from the menu.

The website wouldn't have included the custom print function if they didn't think they needed it.

You can see the effect in Google Groups. Just search for me and click on one of the hundreds of stalker threads. You won't be able to save more than a single page of output. Here is a new post just an hour ago trying to stir up trouble here in the forums. Use Safari's "Export to PDF" feature to get a good representation of the page as displayed. If you use the "Print" feature and save to PDF, then you get a low-quality "printout" version. But because of the way that Google Groups renders content, you only get a single page at a time.

Compare that to the ASC thread that stalker is trying to stir up. The Apple forum software has built-in pagination. It doesn't have Google's infinite page length. Therefore, you can use Export to PDF and it works well. Print works too, but it is going to use special "print" styles that look awful.

My guess is that the paid Racing Form page has a similar infinite page length and it needs custom logic to generate pages. That's just a downside of the modern Javascript-driven web.
