How do I save a web page so that someone else can open it?

Sometimes I want to save web pages as archives for future reference. I thought printing as a PDF would be the most widely readable format, but items on the page are often lost and I end up with question marks.
I have just tried "Save As" to a web archive, and that works well in Safari (meaning that Safari can reopen it perfectly), but when I emailed the file to a PC user they couldn't open it. I assumed a web archive format would be readable by any web browser; obviously that's not the case.
How do I archive a web page so that it is universally readable without losing any content?

A web-link won't work because the particular page I want to send requires a subscription. The story about this particular page I want to send: four of us are planning a 7-day hiking trip through some Tasmanian wilderness, and we don't go unless the weather forecast is fine. I am subscribed to a weather website, but when I send this link:
http://www.weatherzone.com.au/models/meteogram.jsp?lt=twcid&lc=9350
they don't get the meteograms (graphs of various weather aspects out to 10 days).
So, I want to save the particular page and send it off. In general, though, I simply want to archive certain pages.
In my limited testing it looks like:
• Safari can't save a web page accurately;
• Firefox can, but it generates a separate folder of files ( I would have to combine the two, then zip them, then email);
• iCab may be able to, but I haven't tested it yet.
I didn't think saving a web page, incorporated into a single file, would be so complicated.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Pages documents can only be read on another iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Mac with Pages installed. To make a document compatible with Microsoft Word, you just have to export the document.
    To do that, just open the document with Pages, and then, go to File menu > Export > Word, and after exporting that document to Word format, just send it

    You can't. Either find out what it is, or you'll have to delete all of your existing backups, restore your phone as a new device & start over.

  • How do I save a web page as a .txt file?

    There is no 'save as'; there is no menu bar. The limited menu bar in the lower left of the phone does not cover this.

    AFAIK then the Firefox mobile version only allows to save web pages as a PDF file, so you won't be able to do this.

  • How do I save a web page as a word document?

    I can't seem to copy a web page into a word document so I can edit it.

    Firefox will no longer allow me to copy a block of text to save it if the block goes farther down than the bottom of the screen. It used to scroll down as far as necessary while holing down the highlight button on the mouse but now stops and will not scroll with a block highlighted beyond the original screen.
    I've been using IE for the past month because firefox stopped allowing this while it still works great in IE.
    I just upgraded to firefox 5.0 hoping it would fix the problem but it did not. Guess I'll be back in the old and slow IE.

    How did you "save" that page?
    Are you sure that you didn't just save a "shortcut" to that page, like dragging that page to the Windows desktop?

    First click the Menu button and check if you have the "Email Link" available.
    If not, then click Customise in the Menu, then check for "Email Link" on the left hand side, drag and drop it in the Menu area or near the Menu button, the choice is yours.

  • How do I take an old iPhone off my account so that someone else can use it?

    I gave my old iPhone to my husband and registered it with itunes but he didn't find it easy to use and gave it to our son who did the same exercise with it.  However, because it is associated with my account and my husband's, my son can't do various things he wants to and it keeps telling him to delete that it has three accounts!  How can this be sorted out?

    I don't believe that there is anything in the iPad User Guide about saving Web pages as Web archives which is what the original poster asked.
    With the current iPad Safari there is no way of saving web pages. Images on web pages can be saved and, of course, web pages can be bookmarked.
    To save web pages you can use another app like Goodreader. A URL in Safari can be transferred to Goodreader for downloading (add "g" before http).

    How do I save a 2 page pdf (created in Illustrator) to be used in a web site?
    When I save my Illustrator file as a pdf, it is about 2600 kb, my web site admin will only allow storage of 5000 kb. I tried to "save for the web", but that only saves the first page of my document. Any suggestions other than paying for more storage???

    What pdf preset are you using? Try smallest file size rather than illustrator default.
    Save for web does not do PDF, so no multipage.

  • How to tell Safari to open and save a web page

    While on vacation, I would like to save a daily puzzle that occurs on a web site that uses the same URL for each new puzzle. Using the Energy Saver Preference panel, I can schedule a daily start up and shut down and add Safari to the Login Items. How would I tell Safari to open that URL and then save the web page to the Desktop?

    Ralphjh,
    An Automator workflow can save the page in a web archive format:
    First download the Save Safari Web Archive workflow.
    I would add two additional actions at the beginning of the workflow, each from Automator's Safari library, so that your final workflow would look like this:
    1) *Get Specified URLs* -- Deselect or use the minus sign to remove the default www.apple.com address. Open your puzzle page in Safari, make it frontmost, and click on the Current Safari Page button.
    2) *Display Webpages*
    3) *Run AppleScript* -- No need to modify the existing script.
    4) *Get Selected Finder Items*
    5) *Move Finder Items* -- The desktop is default.
    Save the Workflow as File Format: application, and add it to your Login Items.
    It all may be for naught however. I suspect that upon your return from vacation, you'll be disappointed to find that opening any one of the saved files will only result in opening the current day's puzzle. For example, on Tuesday April 29th, the puzzle linked from the URL you posted opened the puzzle for +that day,+ Puzzle Number 760. A quick look at the 30 Day Killer archive (scroll down the page) reveals that each day's puzzle has its own URL. The actual URL for Puzzle Number 760 is:
    http://www.sudoku.org.uk/DailyKiller.asp?day=29/04/2008
    You'll notice that the URLs for the individual days' puzzles in the Killer Archive differ only in the dates appended to them. You would likely need to find a way to incorporate that pattern into an AppleScript -- correlating the current date to the updated URL.

    You can build a form to a procedure in oracle portal that explores the queue with the option browse and prints de type message with htp package. I made it in this way and my applicattion works right. The procedure must loop the select count(msgid) from aq$[queuetable_name] times.
