A noble goal, and one that is becoming increasingly necessary as our legends begin to age. Good luck.

Spoiler: Check images (click to show/hide)

Readers should know the % of working images in the PDF, so try to get an extension that lists the page's media files and its properties. If you're using Firefox, this is inbuilt; what I do is:

• Right click > View Page Info > Media
• Sort by size: Unknown or 0-1KB tend to be broken images or working images that didn't cache properly.
• Use judgement to identify broken vs working links.
• Count broken or total images: Select links > Copy into Notepad++ > Check number of lines
• (Optional) Fix broken links with typos by editing the HTML in Inspect Element (eg. imgAAAur.com/ukpKguR > i.imgur.com/ukpKguR.png).

Spoiler: Print to PDF (click to show/hide)

Settings used:

• Tabloid
• Portrait
• No margins
• 100% scale
• Print background (colors and images)

Check briefly to see whether all images are properly loaded - sometimes images get dropped if the page didn't load properly.

Agreed.
If you need help, just say so. My knowledge is limitd, but anything to save our legends

[Sethatos]

I'm already working on a PDF for Archcrystal so don't worry about that one.

[snow dwarf]

I will be starting from creating PDFs for all the 'Epic Fortresses' that have images.

[Imic]

I support this.

[Bearskie]

Curious, will you be doing this manually?

I guess yes, unless you guys know of any programs that could speed up the process.

It's so bad to see stories being lost due to websites closing, or missing 90% of the images.
And in a hope this helps, try using the archive.org, the internet time machine.
