Not trustworthy. I tried saving the website TechSpot.com, which has very long pages.
It missed:
* The top line, with the title of the website
* The next line, with the tabs for the website
* Almost all the photos on the webpage (saved only one, out of dozens on the webpage)
* Only 3/4 of the entire webpage. It skipped a lot of items near the end.

Are there any additional benefits of this program since any browser's FILE menu already offers a "SAVE AS" option?

Are the links of the website also saved in the PDF or only the webpage that is viewed?

Will it follow links?

URL Capture Pro 3.0 is a basic web browser that takes a screenshot of a webpage, saving the result as a PDF file. Taking a screen shot in Opera & Firefox saves a .png file, while Edge saves a .jpg. You can take a screenshot in Chrome, but not as easily. There are 3rd party PDF printers you can install, there's Windows Microsoft Print to PDF, and in many browsers there's a Save to PDF printing option. Opera has a Save as PDF option as well. Printing to PDF may or may not work, may result in selectable text or just give you an image, same as URL Capture Pro 3.0, and may or may not have functioning links. URL Capture Pro 3.0 can take a snapshot of giveawayoftheday.com, giving you a scrollable PDF -- printing to or saving as PDF will not work -- while Opera for example will give you a .png file.

URL Capture Pro 3.0 uses code from Firefox, and installs ImageMagick-7.0.10-Q8, GNU Ghostscript, and a copy of Microsoft's C/C++ runtimes. For some people ImageMagick **may** cause some concern since it has a history of security vulnerabilities. The app itself, ImageMagick, & GNU Ghostscript are installed to Program Files (x86), while a folder's added to Documents & 2 are added to Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local\. Mainly due to the C/C++ runtime and ImageMagick, I'd estimate you get roughly a few hundred new registry entries.

mike, you forgot to mention how old and long depreciated the Firefox engine is and that it has security vulnerabilities and HTML5 incompatibilities with modern Firefox engine and that the imagemagick version they include does not work under Vista.

1. Open the HTML webpage in your browser.
2. Find the "Print" option within your browser's menu or use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + P for Windows, Cmd + P for Mac).
3. Look for the "Save as PDF” setting within the print dialog box. This tells your browser to create a PDF instead of sending it to a physical printer.
4. Hit the "Save" button, choose a location and filename for your new PDF, and your webpage will be saved as a clean, formatted PDF document.

Greg, that is assuming you have a version of windows that has the Microsoft "Save as PDF" virtual printer pre-installed. Not all versions of windows do, 3rd party always free virtual PDF printers are out there for other versions of windows or if you just want to have more control than the MS Save as PDF virtual printer offers which are very few settings or controls. CutePDF, NitroPDF readers virtual PDF printer both offer more features.

#1 MIke, thank you but just did a right click on this page and under "Save as... " in Chrome there is no PDF option.

It would also be interesting to know, though, if the PDF URL Capture Pro 3 produces is image or text based

Installed as per instructions but I keep on getting error "unhandled exception has occurred in your application... Location frame::Chrome..." Running the latest version of Windows 10, Home edition. Thank you for the offer, nonetheless...

Ziggy, If you are using MSN Edge browser, click on the ellipses on the far right top bar in edge, and click "Print", and in the top box, chose "Save as PDF". Easy as pie. You can even list the exact pages you want to save, if there are pages full of ads included. I use it daily...and don't even have a printer.

Judi Podgurski, Thanks Judy. Your help in this matter is much appreciated. I do a fair bit of family history research, so your suggestion will help me greatly.

Ziggy, I am so happy I could help. One of my dearest cousins was into hunting the family history for years. He thought he had traced us back to Methuselah ! Probably joking. Enjoy the pastime, ad save it for the future generations. Your work will b much appreciated, in time.

The GOTD page says that URL Capture Pro 3 is based on the Safari browser whereas the developer's website says it is based on Firefox. Perhaps the developer can clarify which statement is correct?

Reply   |   Comment by Colin  –  6 months ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+25)

Colin, actually, you can save any page in PDF format from any browser, just right click anywhere on the page you are surfing and you get option "SAVE AS PDF". No need for Safari browser.

Mike, are you talking about this software? Or are you saying one can do this already without this software?

Reply   |   Comment by Bruce Fraser  –  6 months ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+3)

mike, Firefox doesn't give a PDF Option. Text, but that may not be helpful.

Reply   |   Comment by Rick_S22  –  6 months ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

Mike, not the browsers I use. (Firefox, Edge, Avast)

Reply   |   Comment by Jake  –  6 months ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

The app's "URLCapturePro" folder contains a "Firefox" Folder.

"actually, you can save any page in PDF format from any browser, just right click anywhere on the page you are surfing and you get option "SAVE AS PDF".

That option is available in Opera, and maybe a few more, but not in Firefox, Edge, Chrome, DuckDuckGo etc. And it will not work in Opera on giveawayoftheday.com -- you have to take a snapshot, then convert the .png file you get to PDF.

mike,

I'm using Firefox now and right clicking just gives me the option to save as HTML or as a text file.

Reply   |   Comment by rww  –  6 months ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

I looked in Chrome and Edge and neither had a "Save as PDF" from a right click on the webpage.

Reply   |   Comment by Cyrus Sanii  –  6 months ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

mike, or just click ctrl+p and when prompted, print to "Save to PDF."

Reply   |   Comment by Fred  –  6 months ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

mike, I've tried to use save as PDF on many browsers (Firefox, Edge, Chrome, and Opera) and sadly there are some webpages where the formatting is wrong or only 1 page is saved. The worst is when there's a scrolling list and it only shows the first page no matter what program I use to try to save as PDF. IOW, too often I don't get WYSIWYG.

Will this be the first program I've found that can accurately save every page? I doubt it, but I'll try it if I get time tonight.

mike, not reality, no such option in standard Edge or Firefox. Edge Save as mhtml or html, Firefox Save as html or txt. Absolutly no Save as PDF! Could you be using 3rd party browser addons/extensions to save as PDF and forgot you installed them years ago?

Does not operate under Vista... browser engine works but the PDF generation fails with a fault in imagemagick as the version of imagemagic installed in the users Documents subfolder is too new, same for the copy of FFMPEG,EXE in there too, also this does not use Safari engine it uses Mozilla Firefox and a very old version of that too
Version 45.0 is reported to websites it browses. Meaning many modern websites, especially those protected by cloudfare system will not work.
