When I want to keep an interesting webpage, I use one of the provided AppleScripts to Add page from Safari or Add page from DevonThink. Because I’m worried that a page might beome unavailable on the internet, I usually take the trouble to go to DevonThink Pro later, Save as web archive, and delete the original page.
The other day, my network was offline most of the day, and I was very surprised to find that most of these web archives didn’t load. No harm done, because the next day when the network came back online everything was fine again. But it got me thinking that I must have totally misunderstood what a web archive is. Can anyone enlighten me? And is the only safe way to archive a web page to make a PDF of it?
