Are you still using screenshots?
PDF Download by Nitro PDF Software is a free add-on for MS Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome.
It allows taking complete snapshot of a web-page and saving it in PDF format. That is, all text blocks, hyperlinks, and other page elements can still be accessed (copied, searched for, etc.) , while potentially harmful content (like JavaScript) is removed.
By default, PDF files are allowed for uploading/downloading in web-based defect tracking systems. From now on, you have an opportunity to provide even more valuable content in your bug reports.
How to install PDF Download
- Follow the link.
- Download and install the add-on.
- Restart the browser
How to use
Once you are on the page you want to capture (that is, you have it opened in your browser), simply press the button on toolbar, and select an option in the menu.
The add-on places request to a download server, which captures pages, creates PDF files, and sends them back for download.

I tried this and it takes a few minutes for the web page to be saved as PDF.
I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t have a few minutes to spare everytime I need to take a screen shot.
I prefer to user the OneNote clip tool for taking screen shots.
Thanks,

Hi Brett,
I have not experienced such slow performance with PDF Download, but you’re right: in the most cases, few minutes is too much. In your situation I would use it only when the benefits of maintaining page as a document outweigh the time spared.
Thank you,
