Web page archiving

[Hengist_Ludd]

Most of the time when I save information from the Web, plain text is fine.
Sometimes I need to save a page complete, to keep the appearance. Please,
any recommendations for Web page archivers?

TIA...

Checked the File save options in your current browser?

Using IE6 one of the save options is Web Archive, Single file (.mht) -
this works fine for the majority of web pages and I use it loads.

Every now and then I find a page that doesn't save for some reason - in
those cases I have a free PDF printer driver and that works fine as
well, although there are a couple more button presses involved in the
process

I was really wondering about things like Evernote
http://www.evernote.com/en/ and Local Web Site archiver
http://www.aignes.com/products.htm
that is, things that would both save pages, and keep them organised. I
can't install the ScrapBook plug-in for Firefox at work, I think because
of restrictions the corporate IT dept. apply.

I'd forgotten about .MHT; thanks. But, I thought it only worked in IE?
OK, everybody already has that, but I'd prefer something that worked in
Firefox as well. BTW NetSnippets Lite http://www.netsnippets.com/ can
save pages as MHT files and (I believe) allows you to impose some kind of
order on them.

Neat trick! Pity that Acrobat Reader takes so long to load. If you want
to reduce the number of button presses, how about an AutoHotKey
http://www.autohotkey.com/ or HoeKey http://www.bcheck.net/apps/ hotkey?

Save As - Web page complete.

If you save each page in its own folder, all of them in one "saved web
pages" folder, that's pretty organized.

Another suggestion that may help you is WinHTtrack - This is more
appropriate if you want to download entire web-sites but it does store
them nicely and creates an HTML index page (which it updates every time
you download a new site).

If there is a way of doing it within Firefox (possibly a plugin?) I
would be very interested

Sorry - by doing it from Firefox - I mean save a complete web page as a
single .mht file

Have a look also at:

Unipage Unifier http://unipage.org/

You can use it in IE, Firefox or Netscape, but although you can use it in IE
to save the page, you have to use Firefox or Netscape to view the result!

If you don't already have it, you might find WebReaper useful:

Local Web Site archiver

I downloaded and installed it. At first I thought I had finally found
what I have been looking for for quite a while, but the free version
is serious crippleware: the Copy and Move functions are inactive.
Exit this freearchiver. I may consider the paid version, unless there
is a free alternative which does the same but is not crippled?

I hadn't been following this thread, so excuse me if this has been
mentioned: Have you looked at HTTrack (http://www.httrack.com/)?

Hello,

Have a look also at:

Unipage Unifier http://unipage.org/

You can use it in IE, Firefox or Netscape, but although you can
use it in IE to save the page, you have to use Firefox or Netscape
to view the result!

this is the first one file - cross browser solution I've seen.
Everything is encoded binary inside of this .html, not editable
in any way. I'll stick with saving to ".html with graphics".
But maybe someone needs this, better than .mht or .maf

Regards,
Thorsten

Check out the free versions of Evernote or NetSnippets, and the Scrapbook
plugin for Firefox. Don't know if they offer enough power, but they have
their advocates.

I may have to do that. But I'd expected that keeping things in one file
(or at least, one application) might make it easier to search and annotate
them, and also be easier for housekeeping.

Thanks...

I have that, but it's not the same thing. Local Web Site archiver
stores web pages in an archive (the real thing, not a compressed
file), so you can easily retrieve stored information, HTTrack
downloads complete websites.

Sometimes when I try to use IE to save a web page, complete, it will
fail to do so. Instead, I use Firefox and it always works.
