#SITESUCKER NOT WORKING WIKIPEDIA PDF#
If the user wants a PDF for the third reason, then this points out to a poor organization with the online experience.
#SITESUCKER NOT WORKING WIKIPEDIA ZIP FILE#
If the reasons relate to permissions or offline access, then the zip file is fine. Knowing the reason why people request PDF is important, which is why when someone asks me for a PDF, I ask them why they need it.
We all know how frustrating it is to bounce around from page to page, getting pieces of information that relate to a problem you're having but not the whole picture.īy requesting a PDF, maybe the user is really asking for a book-like approach to the help content, where you allow users to see the whole at a glance, with specific chapters that build sequentially and logically. Sometimes, on a website, you put the most-searched-for information up front and bury the beginner details elsewhere. By getting the content in a PDF, which follows a linear format, the user can start the content from the beginning - like a book - and move forward in a sequential, logical way. Suppose the website content is scattered and hard to follow. There is one situation, however, where the user asks for a PDF not based on either of the above conditions. In both of these situations, having a copy of the website locally on the user's machines fulfills the need of a PDF. When the user is offline (for example, the user may be preparing to travel, or the user may be going on a plane or ocean cruise or remote region of the world where online access is spotty), the zipped website works well. When the user can't access the doc site due to file permission restrictions (e.g., the user is a prospect and not a fully-privileged customer, but the sales team wants to give the prospect a preview of the documentation so the customer understands the level of technical detail involved in implementing the product), the zipped website works well. This works well for these two situations: When I get these requests, I usually create a zip file of the website and send it to the user, instructing the user to click the index file to launch it. In some cases, often for unstated reasons, users will ask for a PDF, and product managers expect technical writers to deliver one. I've never been a fan of PDFs, but PDF output is usually a requirement someone invariably brings up for documentation.

Additionally, I was plagued with timeouts which I think might have been caused by the fact that SiteSucker was hitting on UVP so intensely that I think some kind of throttling was triggered.
#SITESUCKER NOT WORKING WIKIPEDIA ARCHIVE#
This is because it is very time consuming to archive an entire website in one session. I want to try using SiteSucker or wget to archive by section so I can save the Botanicals separately from the Technical areas. But the pages and topics and photos were all there and links within UVP all worked - at least the ones I tested worked. There were some links to stuff outside UVP that don't work, of course. With SiteSucker's "local html" archiving, I could access UVP entirely offline on my Macbook and that was pretty cool. Somewhere I read a warning that you have to be careful how you set link following in these archiving apps so that you prevent sucking up the entire Internet. I really didn't think it (or other apps like it) could do that, but now I know for sure that they cannot. I am happy to report that SiteSucker cannot access protected areas of a forum. I archived about 4GB of our forum onto my laptop before the program ran into some snag. Here's the update: I played around this afternoon with the SiteSucker app. It just happened! I hope I did not disappear the topic right in the middle of someone reading it. Touch screens, foo! I don't even know how I messed up.
#SITESUCKER NOT WORKING WIKIPEDIA UPDATE#
I tried to use my iPad to add an update to the original Archiving Websites topic that was in this section and managed instead to delete it.
