I'm using code to save page As PDF, with custom save button. but what If I need more than one save button in the same page and each button will save part of the page?? How can I handle that issue ?
Save as PDF link
<apex:commandLink target="_blank"
action="{! saveToPdf }"
value="Save as PDF">
<apex:param assignTo="{! renderedFileName }"
value="leads-List.pdf"/>
</apex:commandLink>

<apex:page standardController="lead"

id="partnersPage"
renderAs="{!renderingService}"
recordSetVar="myrecords"
