How do you print thumbnails of entire web site

[Dinobrago]

I am starting some work on an existing web site and the first thing I want to do is to print the entire site as it currently exists.

I'd prefer to print thumbnails or only the first page of web page as the site is quite large. The goal is to use these printouts to identify the information currently in the site and organizing a new site but essentially using the existing information.

I am a newbie to Frontpage but I have not seen a way to do this. Any suggestions or external tools that can accomplish this?

Using windows explorer click on the folder you want and right click and select properties tick the box called enable thumbnails and press ok go to view and click view as web page click on the file you want to see a thumbnail of you can take screen shots of the thumbnails of the pages and line them up in your graphic editor ready for printing.

Otherwise view the page on your hard drive and you can print the page from that view.

not sure if this is what you want ..

I am running XP Pro and I don't see the same options you suggest. I can view as thumbnails but it shows a standard icon for the .htm files.

I guess I'm kinda surprised this is so difficult. It seems like a basic function that would be particularly useful managing a site.

Did you ever find a way to easily print out all the pages of a website? I maintain a number of small sites and this would be really helpful.

Yes and No. The best I managed was to use Adobe Acrobat (the full version) which allows you to pull an entire web site into a document.

You can then print the PDF with 4 pages (or more) per page. This works pretty well except for the following:

1) Acrobat reformats the pages usually ok except if you have wide pages. You have to play with the Acrobat parameters when you pull down the web pages.

2) If you have long web pages, each "web page" gets broken into multiple "PDF pages". And you end up with many more "PDF pages" compared to "web pages".

Not quite what I was looking for, ie. a snapshot of the top of each web page but close enough that I could get my work done. Of course, if you don't have Acrobat, you find someone who does and have them pull the pages and send you the PDF.
