Product Description:
DropImageURL is a drop application which images a whole web page into a single graphic file, such as a JPEG or TIFF image.
In other words DropImageURL makes a screen capture of the page, including the portions which may not be viewable in your web browser due to its width or size.
The program provides the option to output in various image formats, and to scale the output image by a given percentage.
You can invoke this functionality in several ways:
- Drag URLs from your browser's location field onto the status window
- Drag URLs from your browser's location field onto the Dock icon
- Select "Image Browser URL" from the Dock menu to image the front window of your browser
- Select "Image URL" from the DropImageURL menu in your applications Services menu when a text selection is a URL.
- Drag "webloc" (web location) files onto the Dock icon or application
- Drag URLs directly from your web browser's displayed pages onto the Dock icon
- Drag the supplied file "DropImageURL.inetloc" into your Safari or FireFox bookmarks bar (renaming as necessary) to create the bookmark.Then click on the bookmark to image the current browser URL in DropImageURL.
Once the program begins processing the URL it will display a status window which monitors the progress of the download prior to imaging. A resources pane shows all the resources which were loaded to image the URL (akin to Safari's "Activity Window") The list of URLs can be copied and used for, say, import to a batch downloader such as Blue Crab, for individual retrieval.
Select "Preferences..." from the application menu, or the Dock menu, to specify various options:
- Scale image by a given percent
- Specify image format (tiff, jpeg, etc.)
- Set comment to location URL
- Overwrite files by same name, or append a unique ID to differentiate
- Show status window
- Bring application to front
- Open image file in default image viewer
- Select image file in the Finder
DropImageURL is part of the Limit Point Software Utilities Bundle : http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities.html. Purchase a Utilities password to activate all the utilities, including DropImageURL. Upgrades are always free, new utilities are always included!
DropImageURL initially runs for about ten days without a permanent password.
What's new in this version:
- Drag and drop into the status window is now supported.
- A new resources pane shows all the resources which were loaded to image the URL (akin to Safari's "Activity Window") The list of URLs can be copied and used for, say, import to a batch downloader such as Blue Crab, for individual retrieval.
- The "completion sound" (a harp) is now optional. You can turn this feature off in the preferences window.
- Previously the program would only image URLs that had a title in the HTML because it used the title to create the image filename. This is no longer the case and if a title is missing the program will name the image using the current date and the name of the program.
- Bug fix: it the title contained a colon the file would not be saved, because filenames are not allowed to have colons.

mematronWhat do I mean?
Well well well... Print to PDF is built into OSX. You go to a page and print it. The sheet will drop down and PDF will be an option in the bottom left of the window.
If you wanna get fancy you can have Preview save it out as a jpg, tif, gif, or png.
Nothing wrong with reinventing the wheel. But when you charge for it make sure that it's not so easy to reveal that you are taking advantage of the general n00b population.
No I have not tried it... I also have never tried smoking crack, yet know it's not something that I want to use.
And no, I'm not comparing DropImageURL to smoking crack... or am I? :)

Handycam2004Second of all, you need to save a webloc to the desktop first, like by dragging the blue sphere from Safari, THEN drag that to the app icon.
Third, the icon is kind of hard to hit for a droplet... it is small, with a lot of mask. Would be better if it was in a square.
Fourth, it took several MINUTES for the screenshot I took of this page in Versiontracker to appear on the desktop. Seriously, I thought the thing didn't work , since there is no UI or progress indicator. It finally appeared minutes later. YMMV.
I see not reason to use this, much less donate for it when other alternatives like Paparazzi exist and have more features and a real UI.
