- zrail 14y agoI was actually just talking to someone else about that over email. It's definitely possible, I just haven't had time to explore it yet.
- josephlord 14y agoYou might need to be careful that you don't end up liable for any copyright infringement. I would speak to a lawyer before pulling content from a URL and transferring it to an unrelated destination. Maybe T&C can protect you in this scenario but maybe not.
- pknight 14y agoThe use case I was thinking of was using it on my own website though, for things like printing out a nicely formatted invoice or a printable mockup of a webpage. Recently I designed some flexible forms meant for printing, but I used php/html/css to generate it. I discovered that it's really hard to get a good quality print out of a webpage. If you use screenshots you get poor resolutions, and direct to print/pdf conversion tools didn't render the CSS all that well. Don't see how T&C couldn't cover such scenarios in which the user has explicit permission to generate a copy of a webpage.
