I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to print out an entire inbox conversation for offline storage? Some conversations can be pages long and I would like to save them to my hard drive for later reference as a PDF or some other document.
If it is not already possible I would like to make the suggestion to the site creators to add the feature.

 

You can use an online converter and save them to pdf.
For example (one of many): https://webtopdf.com

You can also install an extension in your browser to save content to pdf.

 

In your browser, go to file-- save page as
You will have an offline html file of the page in your hdd

 

I've got used to taking screenshots. You can always enlarge the pictures nicely.

FastStone Capture is a powerful, lightweight, yet full-featured screen capture tool and screen video recorder.

Yes I know about save page as and print as PDF but would like to do all pages at once, instead of having to do it 10 or 20 times.

 

Take Open Office - is free ! https://www.openoffice.org/?redirect=soft

1. OpenOffice 2. New text document 3. Copy your texts into it using copy and paste 4. Click on Export PDF. 5. Done

 

Copying and pasting 10 or 20 pages, I thought there might have been an easier way, but I guess not.

 

See if you can find an autopager extension or software that will work with this forum platform. You'll have to trial and error a few to find one that works. Then save the single combined thread. Something like these:
https://www.printwhatyoulike.com/pagezipper

https://lifehacker.com/how-to-fix-annoying-multi-page-articles-all-over-the-we-1164869508

You can just save it in html format. html or pdf will be searchable so there's that benefit too.

 

This might be a good alternative, I will check them out.
But am hoping that the site creators see this and add a button that says 'save conversation' or 'print conversation' in the conversations section.

 

@Olymoon @SAiNT - Have a read through this thread. I'm sure others would be interested in a feature added to the forum to load all thread pages in a single thread so that they can be saved locally.

 

@Olymoon @SAiNT - No plans to add this feature?
