Three formats, three useful collection approaches
Embedded PDF
Check whether the PDF file URL or download link can be obtained. Save the PDF itself with the file downloader and keep it alongside the explanatory HTML.
Articles in a menu hierarchy
Review discovered candidates against the menu, choose relevant articles and adjust their order. Check the saved result against the original articles.
Best for
- ✓Read application procedures, required-document guidance and operating instructions together.
- ✓Organize the explanatory page and original PDF as related materials.
- ✓Prepare selected source material for asking an external AI tool about steps or conditions.
Workflow
- 1Open a page you are permitted to view and save using your normal browser session. Then open “Combine pages into HTML” in the extension.
- 2Review the candidates against the source menu. Select needed chapters or articles; with Pro, remove extras and arrange their order.
- 3Choose image and linked-document settings, collect and save the HTML. For an embedded PDF, confirm an accessible file URL or download link in the file downloader and save the PDF itself separately.
- 4Open the saved HTML and use its contents and search. Compare saved headings and reported results with the source; check any missing or failed material.
- 5Keep the HTML and PDFs together. Note original URLs, the date you checked and any stated revision in your own reference notes. If using AI, prepare an export and manually pass supported files and your question to your chosen service.
Keep the material easy to check later
| Material | How to keep it |
|---|---|
| HTML reference | Read the collected page bodies with contents and search. Check the sections you actually saved. |
| Original PDFs | Keep them as separate files beside the explanatory HTML. Document links in HTML do not merge the PDF text into the page body. |
| Reference notes | Record source URLs, the date checked and the revision stated in the manual. Note when the revision is not stated. |
Ask about the wording you collected
Using only this material, list the procedure, prerequisites and required documents. Cite the supporting passages and source URLs. Mark missing information as ‘not stated in the supplied material’ instead of guessing.

FAQ
What if a chapter or article is missing?
Compare the candidate list with the original menu and add needed URLs where appropriate. After saving, compare the headings and collection results with the originals. This lets you review what was saved without assuming every menu item was found.
How do I save an embedded PDF with its explanation?
Check the actual PDF URL or download link in the file downloader, then save the obtainable PDF as a separate file. Collect the explanation as HTML and manage both together; the PDF text is not merged into the HTML body.
Can I try one page with Free?
Yes. Free discovers candidates and saves one chosen page as HTML. Pro lets you select, reorder and combine multiple page bodies. Existing authentication, permission and safety limits apply.
How do I identify the source and revision?
Check the original page’s revision label and record it in your own title or notes, along with its URL and the date checked. The HTML’s overall capture date and AI output’s page-level source URLs and capture dates can help with checking; a manual’s revision needs your confirmation.
Can I ask AI to extract procedures or conditions?
Enable AI output before collection, then save the AI ZIP and copy the request after collection. Choose appropriate files and manually give them to your external AI service, extracting the ZIP if needed. Check its answer against the supplied source wording.
What if a page needs me to sign in?
Collection uses your own browser session and does not collect credentials. If a page is marked “Sign-in needed”, press “Open the site to sign in”, sign in in that tab, then press “Resume”. Pages that still need a sign-in are not saved, and the result says how many were left out.
Why is some text missing from the saved page?
Some sites add text only after you scroll or click. Open “If a page is missing text: content and JavaScript settings”, turn on “Scroll down to load content that appears later” or “Press ‘Show more’ to include the continuation”, and collect again. If the wrong part of the page was kept, use “Select on screen” there to pick the main text.
