Re: Getting printer-friendly version of web page for archive
Webarchives fit in with priority 1 as well. A webarchive is just a bundle containing an HTML file and associated graphics files. I have a feeling I'll still be able to read HTML files in 30 years on whatever computer I'm using. I suspect the larger issue will be what to do with my massive Yojimbo library when it's either no longer supported or a move to another platform or decide that it's just gotten too big for Yojimbo TjL -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Not in any way that I'm aware. :-) One big difference is that web archives preserve links, while printing to PDF doesn't. Also, depending on your web browser, printing to PDF can really bork the page layout. Firefox seems to be a little better than Safari on getting the layout right. Web archives are also more flexible in the sense that if you have a web archive, you can create a pdf or text representation of the page. You can't go from a PDF or text to a web archive though.

The new Macworld.com design (which I loathe) took away the easy printer-friendly URLs. If you actually print them (even to PDF) you get a so-called printer-friendly version, but how I like the store web pages is to make a web archive of them instead. The solution I settled on is to use the Scrapbook extension in Firefox to caputure the parts of the page I want to save. I then save the page I captured in scrapbook to Yojimbo. It's an extra step, but you can automate it using a macro utility (e.g. Quickeys or iKey). I posted instructions on how to do that to the list a couple of weeks ago. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

YES! Thanks for reminding me... I knew there was a madness to my method :-) This may not be universal, but I have a number of PDFs printed from web pages in which the web links actually work. It's possible that this is a feature of the 3.0 WebKit that is in 10.4.11 and later. Ah, that might be. So far the easiest answer has been to copy from OmniWeb and then have Yojimbo capture it in the Quick Entry thingy. You lose the nice formatting of images float:left or right but other than that it works pretty well and I can get just what I want. Then I go back and copy the URL and paste that in before sending it into Yojimbo proper. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.
