WebCap is a utility that renders websites to PDF files. It was inspired by the excellent Paparazzi!, which is an OS X only tool. I couldn't find a similar tool for Windows, but since the core technology itself is readily available, why not plug it all together myself?
Utilizing the power of wkhtmltopdf, capturing a website with WebCap gives you the following advantages:
- The layout of the website is kept alive in vectorized form. It scales up and down without any loss of quality.
- You retain access to the text (e.g. copy/paste); the PDF can be indexed by full-text search thingies.
- Links stay alive and clickable inside the PDF.
- The PDF file will most probably be less in size than a (high resolution) bitmap-based image.
(Some restrictions and/or limitations may apply, see the manual.)
Still, if you have a Mac, go use Paparazzi! instead. (Yes, it's that good.)
I do supply release builds for the Windows 7/8.x 64-bit platform.
More documentation can be found in the MANUAL.md
file.
Please keep in mind that this is still work in progress. Consider nothing as finished and everything is subject to change until we reach v1.x.
