   I found this to fill a personal need... once a week I need to print a screenshot of a web page that's 2 pages long, but there is no page break in a .png file. The workaround I have been using is to open the screenshot image in PSP, crop it, print 1 page, then undo the crop and crop it a 2nd time for the 2nd half, printing that. It's still a bit of a PITA using PDFgear, but not quite as bad -- I can print the entire page as a PDF, rather than taking a screen shot, crop it, re-add the PDF, and crop the other half, saving it as a 2 page PDF I can then print.

   PDFgear is a 325MB app out of Singapore consisting of a couple of apps & a launcher. A folder's also added to Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local\, but otherwise it appears to be portable -- installation just adds file name associations to the registry [which I don't want / need]. PDFgear is far from perfect, e.g., it has A4 paper sizes but not the letter & legal we use in the US, but it's usable and works well enough until I come across something better -- and free.

   Have you tried Fastone Capture? There is a free version, but the paid version is reasonably priced, and can be used on all your Windows computers. It is really flexible and one of my favourites.

   THANKS!

   It's been a rougher than usual couple of weeks so it took a while before I could check this stuff out. Fastone Capture is pretty neat, and does what I need by saving a multi-page PDF of an entire web page -- I can then print whatever pages as needed -- but it's a bit pricey if you don't use it often, to me anyway. I've got their portable trial version and am using that for now.

   PDF24 looks like it does just about everything -- Wow. We have cable broadband, which means terrible upload speeds, so out of habit I looked at installing the collection of tools on this PC, but turns out it's Huge. It's painless though as a web app, which is what I wound up with, and I'll just suffer any delays.

   Again, Thanks!
