[Web4lib] Capturing web sites

[Paul R. Pival]

If the document consists of a *single* html page, you might get what you 
need with Macromedia's FlashPaper 
(http://macromedia.com/software/flashpaper/).  Once installed you can 
output to flashpaper as one of your print options, and the resulting 
file is very similar to a PDF but doesn't require the PDF plugin (and 
long load time grrr) to view - it just pops up (assuming you have the 
Flash viewer installed).  There's an example of the output at 
http://macromedia.com/software/flashpaper/productinfo/overview/flashpaper_datasheet.html
