That all depends on what you're trying to accomplish. The simplest way of doing it is using Adobe Acrobat (the full version, not just the Reader.) Using Acrobat's WebCapture feature, you can enter a URL, tell the program how many levels to capture, and it will produce a PDF with all the pages and images. I just tested it, and all the links within the document will still work. Acrobat retails for about $250 solo, and is included with Adobe's Creative Suite 2 for a lot more money. The non-archival nature of the document is that once captured, you no longer have the HTML behind a webpage. To properly capture that part, you'd need to save the HTML code page by page, and I don't know of a utility that will do that. There are web archiving technologies out there that will preserve the pages as web pages, and I suspect save the HTML as well, but I'm unfamiliar with them.

You can respond to the listserv or you can e-mail me directly at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> and I will pass it along. Molly Alexander Archivist Association of American Medical Colleges Does anyone know of a product which will allow us to capture websites of 3 levels down or less for the purpose of documenting them? This would not necessarily need to agree with archival conventions, but would allow us to store the basic pages of a website to a file, and would allow a sense of understanding the context of the information (at least for the main pages). Something which could be stored on DVD would be preferable. Thanks in advance for any advice which you might offer. _____________________________________________________________________ The information contained in this electronic e-mail transmission and any attachments are intended only for the use of the individual or entity to whom or to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
