The older tool from Canon (it was commercial ware but in the deep discount $5 
bin when I got it for Win 95) did all that. Point it at a page, give it some 
selection as to how deep to go and what domains (much like HTtrack or wget) or 
dirs and filespecs if any, and it fetched and put it in one big doc. I don't 
remember its file format in the end, but it could be printed to any printer 
including pdf (if one had acrobat in those days). I never got it to work on XP 
or NT, so I don't even know where it is now. Probably went to the thrift shop.

It was very useful, but I think Canon just didn't want to be in the software 
biz unless it was based on a specific hard product of theirs. I also thought it 
was such an obviously useful tool that there would be more like it as the web 
took off.

Now I can't find anything like it, but for web spiders that will recreate the 
site dir locally, but not put them all in one doc...

Budgeting here is an odd activity - don't ask. ;) Given the fact that the 
function seems so obvious for a tool like Canon had, and the condition of the 
economy, et al, it just needs to get done in one's 'extra' time...
