Uses latest start of the art technologies. ASP Classic, HTML with Tables. No abuse control at the moment (although I have set a CPU and bandwidth limit in IIS).

Has simple api where you can generate a PDF of a page. I have a client who needs this and I have been shoving it off to my own server but now I can just use this instead as a more generic solution. Supports saving the PDF in landscape.

It doesn't even work with style sheets. Can you specify what it works with?

I believe "start of the art" is a pun, since he's using lame tech.

It was late I meant state of the art, teach to to write anything after midnight.

Oh, OK that makes sense. Never heard of that before:)

Turned out I had javascript, flash and some other things turned off. It uses Abcpdf component to create the pdf, I just found that a bunch of options are turned off by default.

It worked pretty well with http://nytimes.com just now.

how do you take the screenshot of the website? can this be used to make png / jpeg to get a thumbnails of websites?

Also finally how do you create pdf, is it some pdf printer?

Which library is used to render the PDF file?

I doubt why you need "HTML Tidy for Linux"

:)

Something the w3c validator now offers, never noticed it before so I tried it out, my html is best just w3c never agrees with me.

I think webkit would be a better renderer.

I have created a bookmarklet. Try it here:

Tried homevalueprotect.com Got back:

ABCpdf6.Doc.1 error '80004005'

Unable to render HTML. Unable to load page.

/index.asp, line 135

I generally "print to pdf" if I want a pdf of a page, or use the firefox screengrab plugin to make png images of full page-length (super-awesome!):

Doesn't work with JavaScript.

Search Google for "browser testing" for some screenshot services that do.

How does this compare with htmldoc?

Doesn't look anything like how a browser renders it. I'll just use a PDF print driver.

Not bad, needs more margins at the top and the bottom but otherwise looks quite good.

I'd prefer a tool that did the exact opposite (without flash).

This is one option: http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/

I got a blank pdf for www.engageinteractive.co.uk

Nice work. Doesn't work well with AJAX though.
