Print to PDF

Print to PDF in Windows
          ●   Remove the Internet
              Archive navigation bar by
              clicking the
Firefox
          ●   Control+P to print OR

Chrome   Microsoft Edge

Save to Wayback Machine
● Copy and paste the URL into
  https://web.archive.org/save/
● Copy and paste the URL in the Save Page Now
  box on the Wayback Machine homepage
● Browser add-ons or extensions

“Potential Security Risks”
If you are attempting to go to a current website
that warns you about Potential Security Risks,
you can try entering that URL into the Wayback
Machine to see if you can use the site before it
was infected with malware or otherwise
compromised.

Minor Changes to URL
● Remove .html at end of web address
● Remove everything after domain extension
  (.com, .net, etc)
● Flip between http and https in URL
● If the URL only has /catalogs and no preceding
  info, copy & paste remaining URL & try again

Flash?
● Adobe announced in 2011 it was ending
  support for Flash in 2017 & discontinuing in
  December 2020
● Adobe starting block Flash Player 1/12/21
● Most browsers have stopped supporting it
● IA generally wasn’t able to archive Flash (its
  Flash video games & Flash movies
  repository uses a Flash emulator)
