capture the whole webpage in a screenshot

Oct 29 2009 Published by Vincent under tech

here’s a way to capture the entire content of a webpage in some sort of a snapshot, without breaking them into pages (OS X):

  1. in the browser, go to File -> Page Setup.
  2. in Paper Size -> Manage Custom Size
  3. set up a paper size for about 8.5 x 30 in. (or equivalent in cm). the idea is to set a ridiculous length, so the output will be continous. change the width as well if the page doesn’t fit.
  4. use the standard print to PDF option (“Save as PDF).

i’ve used it to capture snapshots of websites i’m working on for a client. really useful to showcase the design and still be able to keep the whole thing in a file.

welcome to my blog! my name is Vincent.

i’m a twenty-something guy working in the IT industry, living in beautiful Vancouver with my friends and family.

i’m glad to finally claim a piece of the web to call my own, and i’ll be quite omnivorous in my writing. but some of the common themes you’d find will be around tech, humor, music, and a bit of local stuff.

hope you find something you like and enjoy your stay!
