In the Save As window, select the file name, and output folder, and it will store the entire webpage as a PDF file.

Opera browser does not automatically save screenshots to a default location. It prompts you to select the output location. Once you have captured and edited the screenshot, use the Save image button. After that, a Save As window is opened. Use that window to give a name to the screenshot, and output location. Press the Save button and the screenshot will be saved in that location as a PNG image.
