McMuttley Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Is it possible to export a whole thread (which runs over more than one page) as a single document. In adobe pro, for example, if I export, it only takes the page I am on, not the whole conversation ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Why don't you do it by copying the link ? it all goes then. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 ? If I copy the link the address bar, I just get the link to the start of the conversation - not the whole - ditto if I click on the sideways legs top right ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 You can't just highlight-copy-paste as HTML into a .doc file, doing it for each page or a big block of text? That's what I'd do in Windows/Office. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Thanks Don - you just get loads of poorly formatted text, avatars, banners etc - I will just have to export by page. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 If you paste it into Gmail as a message, Austin, all the original formatting (headers/footers/avatars, etc) are still there, but at least properly formatted as it reads on the Forum. You can then print to .pdf or whatever from Gmail. If you just want the text of the thread, yeah, I think you're stuck with a brute force approach of copying each post.

Lebro Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I would just highlight the whole lot, copy, and past into a PDF writer (I used Soda). Create a PDF, and : If multiple pages, the add each page to the PDF as you go. Bob. Edited October 18, 2016 by Lebro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Or like this: TRR Forum thread Gmail example 2016 10 18.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
