A first beta version of Local Website Archive 3.0 is now available and can be downloaded from the Beta section. Please install this new version over the existing version, no need to uninstall the previous version first.
LWA 3.0 introduces two new ways how documents or information can be archived.
1. Archive from Clipboard
To archive the clipboard content, open the “Add to archive” dialog (as usual) and click the radio button “Clipboard”. This will automatically paste the clipboard content and you’re also able to modify it before archiving.
2. Archive via a Virtual PDF Printer
The second method is to use a virtual PDF printer to “print/save” PDF documents into a pre-defined folder. When LWA is started, all PDF documents from that folder will be imported.
That means that you can archive documents in PDF format from any application that has print capabilities. There are virtual PDF printers from different vendors out there, I personally use the open source solution CreatePDF.
Also the search in PDF files has been improved and is now based on a third party tool called pdftotext.exe which is part of the open source package Xpdf. Using that tool gives better PDF search quality than previous versions of LWA. You have to download and install Xpdf yourself, then open the LWA program configuration and enter the location of pdftotext.exe.
If you have questions about this new version or if you run into problems, please use the support forum or our ticket system to contact us.
