[QUOTE="Deleted member 65228, post: 694695"] I know how you can download any webpage to view it in PDF form later on with it looking identical to how it did at the time of downloading the webpage content. You can use: [URL='https://wkhtmltopdf.org/']wkhtmltopdf[/URL] All you need to do is head over to the Downloads tab, download the correct installer for you (e.g. I would use Windows (MSVC) 64-bit version for my system) and then after installation, navigate to the installation path. Open up command prompt and go to the installation directory (e.g. with the cd command) and then type: "wkhtmltopdf [YOURURL] [URLNAME].pdf" (without the "" and removing the [ and ] characters of course). E.g. (without "") 1. "cd C:\\Program Files\\\wkhtmltopdf\\bin" 2. "wkhtmltopdf.exe https: // www. google .fr googlefr.pdf" (added spaces for URL to prevent the auto-shorten happening which XenForo does automatically). Simple. If you want to download a full website to view in-browser whenever you want then it's never going to work as you would like it to - in other words you simply cannot do it to the extent you'd like to. Reason being is that most websites nowadays have scripts on the servers (in the "cloud") and you won't have access to this when viewing locally from a local download copy. Such functionality may also change over time and then you'd have outdated code for the local copy as well. E.g. PHP is on the server (server-side), not local-side which is where the HTML, CSS and JavaScript would be located. Websites may also use CSS which is not locally stored on its web-host, but linked to other websites and this will also cause an issue. [/QUOTE]
