Easy way to "document" a website's contents?

#1

Post by panhead_kicker »

One of the few sites for Harley Topper owners has been on auto-pilot for several years now (it appears). No response from admin since 2013 I believe.
The forum portion has recently been throwing errors when trying to access it. Lots of good info lost there. The rest of the site is still accessible and still contains a lot of great Topper information. Is there an good way to "harvest" web info to save it? I hate to see it disappear forever when some server gets retired...

Thanks Panhead. I thought that the old Internet Explorer, (at one point in time), would let you download a web page and save it, for the most part.
I don't see that option anymore. Darn Technology is a moving target...
I've located a few programs on the net, but now-a-days I'm very leery of loading unknown software on my pc. Maybe a Virtual machine is in order.

I use opera as browser. With opera you can save pages as PDF.

I use Firefox and go to File, Print, instead of using my printer, I choose print to PDF file, then print or save to my local hard drive.
