Saving webpages as files: Why, when, and how to do it



So that browsers (and servers) recognize Web pages and know to interpret themarkup they contain, as well as distinguish them from plain text files that arenot Web pages, Web page files also have the .htm or .html extension.


The core of a web page is a file writtenin Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Typically, the HTML file includesassociations with other files that either appear on the web pageor govern how it looks or works.




Saving webpages as files



The resulting PDF behaves much like the original web page. Forexample, the images, links, image maps, and most media files appearand function normally within the PDF. (Animated GIF files appearas still images, showing the last frame of the animation.)


To convert Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) languageweb pages to PDF on a Roman (Western) system in Windows, you musthave installed the CJK language support files while installing Acrobat.Also, it is preferable to select an appropriate encoding from theHTML conversion settings.


2. File Save As 'Save As Type' box reads' Web Archive, single file file-name.mht'There are no extra files - everything is part ofthe page.3. File Save As 'Save As Type' box reads'Web Page, HTML Only file-name.html'This saves page only, and will show a placeholder for images BUT no images saved in a separate folder. Style Sheet is NOT included.4. File Save As 'Save As Type' box reads 'Text file file-name.txt'Text from page saved, no navigation, no images.If you are saving the page so that you can use it as part of your web or just to try it out, you should save it as a COMPLETE WEB PAGE so that you have all corresponding, images, style sheet, etc. If the page has used the navigation bot features of FrontPage, those will not be available once you save the page. The same is true for shared borders.When you save a complete web page to your computer, the page is saved as well as the corresponding files - images, style sheet, etc. You may end up with index.html plus a folder called index_files or a name that corresponds to the name of the file you have saved. Another example: Geary Family Genealogy.htmlPLUS Geary Family Genealogy_files.If this is a page you want to use as part of your website and you have saved it in a folder that is an actual web - folder with a little blue globe - there are a number of things you can do to create some order.. Open the site in FrontPage. View Folder List. Open the index_files folder Highlight the image files and move them to the images folder by holding down the right mouse button and dragging them hover over the images file and let the button go a box will pop up asking if you want to copy and move the files, choose move.If you are working within FrontPage, the links to those files will be adjusted in your page. Move the ***.css file to the main directory of the web.Again the links will be adjusted. Once you have emptied the index_files folder, you can then delete it. From the Web Site Tab or Folder View Right click on the now empty folder Delete. Rename the page to what you want to actually call it which is index.html. Do not leave spaces in the file name. Use hyphens to separate the words. From the Web Site Tab or Folder View Right click the file you want to rename Rename.If you have saved the page and corresponding files to your computer BUT they are not part of a "real" web, you can stilluse them as part of your website.. Create a new empty web in FrontPage File New One Page Web or Empty Web Give it a name.. Move the page you saved and the corresponding folder - index.html AND index_files to the newly created web. Fromwithin Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer) Expand the My Webs Folder by clicking the + sign so that you can see allyour Webs Locate the files/folders you want to move Right Click on the file/folder and drag to the web folder you want to use Choose Copy or Move To. Follow the steps listed above.


FrontPage will add the necessary folders. When you look at the folder again, it will now have the blue globe that indicates a web has been created. Follow instructions from above for moving, renaming, and/or deleting files.If you are going to edit either the page coding (HTML) or the CSS sheet attached to the page, you should save the original as a copy and work on the copy.Open the page Save As Give it a new name - I usually add NEW or REVISED to the file name and Save it. Same with the style sheet. Then if you mess up things to badly, you still have the original.**************************************


The advantage of this method over saving a webpage as a pdf is the underlying code. When you convert a web page to pdf, it takes an image and places it in a document. This is great for printing but means that the website is no longer interactable. When you save an HTML file you can still copy text, modify the code, click on links, and view animations.

This was easy in Windows. When I saved a web page I got the option to Save entire web page.It downloaded an HTML file and created a folder with the same name as the file with added "-files".All associated files like images, stylesheet and some javascript were downloaded in that folder.


I like this way because I have then a total control of the downloaded web page to add a note or elements as I chose to.More plus, if I save multiple web pages from the same web site, all images that are the same (like layout) will only replace the older images (as long as they have the same file name). So the size will not increase as much. The "-files" folder will only increase with new article images.
