Chrome Print - Save as PDF - Print to One Page

When printing via "Save as PDF" in Chrome, how can I make the size of the page fit the webpage dimensions?
The page I'm trying to generate a PDF from has a bunch of graphs on it, and I don't plan on printing it to paper - I'd just like to generate a presentable document. But, when I go to print it as a PDF, my graphs keep getting diced up from all the pages. I'd like to simply print everything on one page. Is this possible?

Have you adjusted the layout settings and Advanced settings? There are settings for the layout, paper size, margins, and scaling.

I'm offered a few sizes - A0 - A5, Legal, and Tabloid - but none of these work, as the page is way too long. I'm also ideally looking for a solution where I don't have to guess the exact length of the page, as I need to print a series of web pages.

For now, I've found a Chrome extension that works for what I'm doing. It allows me to snapshot the entire page, and then save it as a PDF or image. The only disadvantage of this method is that the page (even when a PDF) is, as a whole, an image. Thus the text is not selectable or vector scalable.
Here's the extension if it helps anyone else:

Chrome has a standard but small set of tools for page layout in the Print dialog. These are right below where you select the print, and so are not hard to miss.
There is Layout, where you can choose between Portrait and Landscape.
There is Paper size, where you can select between various standard sizes.
There is Margins, where you can adjust the unprinted margins of the page.
There is Scale, which will perhaps be the most helpful for this.
And there are additional options for including/excluding Headers/Footers and Background Graphics.
Printing web pages is an inexact art because much of page design is actually explicitly defined in the page code, and that is not optimized for print layout. These explicitly-define page layout codes conflict with the print layout options you may be familiar with from word processing or other applications, where the program can exert greater control over the layout of the document.

Sorry if my question isn't clear. I don't want to scale the content - otherwise I get tons of unwanted whitespace, and an extreme amount for long pages. I want to make the page size fit the content.
