Saving Web Pages in Mac OS

18Nov08

It’s very easy to save the contents of a webpage in Mac OS. Here are the instructions:

Web Archive (this is a type of file that will open in Safari)

Go to File in the Menu Bar, then Save As (or Command + S). Under Format, choose Web Archive. Save the file with your choice of file name and location. The file will save as a SINGLE FILE, unlike (at least of the last time I tried this in Windows, which was a long time ago) in Windows where the fileS you save never reproduce the original web page, as desired.

PDF

Go to File in the Menu Bar, then Print (or Command + P). Under PDF, you have a few options, which are basically self explanatory. If you want to save the PDF to a specific folder, choose “Save as PDF.” Choose “Mail PDF” to open an email in Mail with the PDF as an attachment. If you like to save receipts of online transactions, you can save them all to a convenient Web Receipts folder (in your Documents folder) if you choose…I think you’ve got it. Note that this same process applies for ANYTHING YOU CAN PRINT on a Mac.
