User Case: How to Save Full Webpage as a PDF with Images, etc. in a Muti Page Format?

 

So, I am trying to take my e-portfolio and make a pdf version because my university is playing hot potato with the website keeping my portfolio. I wanted links preserved as well as documents, but in the end, I figure I can do that with a pdf editor later. What I need without compromise is to make the pdf look professional-that is multiple pages if the web page is long. Is there a program to do this?
