some of my potential clients have a proxy at work, and can't see my site. so I was thinking to find a way to send the most important pages through email. I tried saving every page (complete: with images and all) and making a zip but when you open it, it doesn't look good because of the CSS. I also tried to make a PDF with 7 different tools, but again the CSS didn't load good.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks for your help my friends

Screenshots?

However, if you just make all CSS includes and images relative on the relevant pages, and send it all across, it should work fine. (ie, instead of src="http://www.mysite.com/my.gif" use src="/my.gif")

'Save the page html and everything' option on ie does some weird stuff, if that happens to be what you did here. The one in firefox does this with less perversity involved, it seems.

If you've used relative url's consistently, you should just be able to zip the whole directory the site's in, and tell your client to unzip it and click on the index.html file in the unzipped directory (try it first). If this doesn't work, see if the css links are relative, and if not, replace them with relative links - and see if you use a <base href=" and if so if this can't be changed to work 'locally,' maybe off of some pre-determined directory on c:\ that your client will have to create. If none of this works, try 'ripping' the site with a utility like httrack, this should put everything into proper relative url format.

You can use a website downloader as mentioned above

thank everybody for the answers. finally I got Adobe Acrobat 6 and convert the most important pages to PDF. It looks great, even the SWF run in the document.
