Fanfold — Web Page to PDF

Save the whole page. Keep the text. Complete, visually accurate, searchable PDFs. Awkward pages — live tables, panels, frames, pages that load as you scroll — painstakingly walked and reassembled. Pause and resume. A history of every capture. Nothing ever leaves your computer. Print a long page yourself and the browser drops the pictures, the colors and one of the two columns — then stops partway down. Our own test page, printed the ordinary way, came out as just one sheet, 263 words. The same page through Fanfold: seven pages, 1,759 words — everything that was on the screen, top to bottom, still selectable. BETTER THAN THE BROWSER'S OWN • The whole page, not one screenful • Looks like your screen, not a squashed paper version • Text stays searchable and selectable • Tells you when something is missing • A history of everything you have captured • Nothing ever leaves your computer WORKS WHERE OTHER TOOLS STUMBLE • Tables that drop rows as you scroll — all 1,000 rows, not 21 • Content inside another site's frame — all 300 paragraphs, not 23 • Content in a box that scrolls on its own • Asks whether you want the page, the panel inside it, or both • Pages that grow while you capture them • Switch tabs and it pauses, then resumes • Searchable in any script — Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese, accents IT TELLS YOU WHEN IT MISSED SOMETHING A capture that quietly drops half a page looks exactly like one that worked, and you find out on the day you need it. Fanfold says so instead — in plain language, the moment it finishes, judged by what actually reached the PDF. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR COMPUTER No accounts, no sign-in, no telemetry. No network requests at all, not on install, not on capture. If any code that could reach the network appeared, the build would fail. SEARCHABLE MEANS SEARCHABLE A real text layer taken from the page itself, not image recognition — checked with poppler and with the PDF reader built into macOS. LIMITS, SAID UP FRONT • A long page takes a while. Fanfold walks it rather than printing it. • Chrome only. • Words painted onto a chart or a canvas are pictures, not text. They are captured, they are not searchable, and Fanfold tells you when a page is like that. Free. No trial, no tier, nothing to buy. Ten seconds to install.
