(View all)- Capturing web pages as PDF
Can anyone recommend freeware that does this well?- Capturing web pages as PDF
But wait...can't any Adobe Acrobat do this (and Macs)? Is there a difference between printing and capturing?

it used to be print and then print to PDF... Isn't it now under the Save As menu?
Is there a difference between printing and capturing?
Yes. Printing splits it into pages, and it looks terrible. Capturing makes a PDF that looks exactly like the website.
I must be reading this wrong. Is it saying you need to pay $160 if you want to upgrade your CS3 to CS3.3? Or is that just to get the Acrobat 9 update only?
I believe it is $160 to get CS3.3 which includes acrobat 9. I don't think there are any more differences.

Yes. Printing splits it into pages, and it looks terrible. Capturing makes a PDF that looks exactly like the website.
Paparazzi captures to PDF, PNG, TIFF, or JPG and is free. It does it as one long page, rather than splitting it into pages.
I haven't used Acrobat for capturing web sites, so I'm not sure how it compares.
for those of us that paid over a grand for CS3, we seriously need to pay $160 for an upgrade to ONE of the products instead of getting it as a software update? That's seriously lame.
On a side note, there is no Pro Extended version for Mac. That honor befalls the Windows platform, because clearly Windows users need an app that crams in more and more functionality unrelated to its main purpose. :rolleyes:
