When you import an entire Web page, EagleFiler can save it using the following
formats:
- Bookmark
- A .webloc file that stores the URL and page title. This does not save
the contents of the page, thus conserving disk space but restricting your
search options. You can also edit (and update) the URL in a bookmark.
- HTML
- A plain .html file that stores the page’s text content. Formatting and
images may not be fully preserved, in the effort to save a smaller file in
an open format. If you want to preserve the full formatting and images,
consider using the Web archive format instead.
- PDF
- PDF files preserve the text, formatting, clickable links, and images. Web
pages containing HTML frames cannot be saved as PDF files; when importing
such pages, EagleFiler will save them as Web archives.
- PDF (Single Page)
- As above, except that the PDF is formatted as a single page and with tighter
margins for easier on-screen viewing. For best results, set EagleFiler or
your PDF viewer to display in “Single Page Continuous” mode. Printing PDFs
in this format can be a problem, however, because the PDF page will
generally be much larger than a sheet of paper.
- Plain Text
- Plain text files include the text content of the page, with no formatting
or images. Thus, they make very efficient use of disk space.
- Rich Text
- RTF files preserve the text, formatting, and clickable links, but not the
images.
- Rich Text With Images
- An RTFD package that preserves the text, formatting, clickable
links, and images.
- Web archive
- Safari Web archives preserve the entire page contents in its original format
(HTML, CSS, images). They’re slower to display than PDFs, but you can
resize the window to change the displayed width, and you can adjust the
font size (often more useful than zooming a PDF). Web archives can be
viewed on Macs (using Safari) and iPhones, but currently there are no
Windows or Linux applications to display them. Firefox and Google Chrome do
not support Safari Web archives.
You can use bookmarklets to
temporarily override the format chosen in the settings.
