 |  Is there a way to download an entire website?
Recently, I came upon the realization that I do my best learning and implementing of concepts offline. Something about reading online just perceives as entertainment in my mind, and so I don't take it as seriously as I do with a physical book. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to download all of the posts someone has written on a website, so that I can print it out into a "book" format, and slowly work my way through everything day by day. |

 | HTTrack Website Copier - Offline Browser Download entire website or download web pages with SurfOffline - convenient offline browser with easy-to-use interface BackStreet Browser - Offline Browser, Download Entire WebSite at High Speed! I use the first one, HTTrack, though there aren't many websites I care enough about to download in their entirety. I have grabbed a couple, though, for posterity (I hate it when a website I love suddenly disappears). If none of those suit you, just Google offline browser and take a look at what's available. As for the printing aspect, it could be difficult to print into book format, because websites are generally not arranged that way. Books are linear, websites are generally not (that's the point of a hyperlink and the whole idea of a "web" of information). You could still download the site and print the page individually from within the browser, but putting them into some sort of linear order could be difficult.

If you have "adobe acrobat professional" you can choose 'print' and 'print as a pdf' and it will output the page as a pdf, rather than literally printing it. You may even be able to do it with just Acrobat...but I am not sure.

This would probably be time consuming to use on a large site, but probably my most often used tool when I'm not working is the readability bookmarklet. It takes any page and strips it of fluff, leaving a nice clean page that's easy to read. It helps a lot for reading on-screen, but I've found it handy for printing out instructions and stuff like that as well. |
