Wednesday Application Tech Tip: Downloading your webpage as a PDF!
Whether using Windows or Mac, Lawyers review many websites for information. It’s not possible to save every link to every page we need later for easy reference, especially when we need to attach that reference to a particular case file. Legal Research sites, e.g., Fastcase, Lexis, and WestLaw, have programming embedded to make it easy to download and, with little effort, save our results in a viewable and shareable format, pdf. But, the software coding behind other webpages we look at can make saving informative webpages, .i.e., social media posts of an opposing party, some news sites, and other webpages without the necessary programming embedded, awkward, if not impossible. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) can be a mess when you’re trying to translate internet content into a deliverable document. Here’s one way you can copy and save a webpage in a manageable manner.
