I already use the Headless Browser PhantomJS to download full FAX-rendered WEB pages that are displayed in the regular browser (it interprets JS and CSS) but with it is also possible to perform a print screen of the desired page of the following form:
- Create a file with .js extension
- Paste and save the following content:
Command that accesses a certain page and saves its contents in a .png (but can save as PDF):
var page = require('webpage').create();
page.open('http://stackoverflow.com/', function() {
page.render('stackoverflow.png');
phantom.exit();
});
It is also possible to establish the dimensions of the window where the site is displayed (this is useful if you want to see how a responsive site is being rendered) as follows (this configuration must be done before the page.open ()) :
var webPage = require('webpage');
var page = webPage.create();
page.viewportSize = {
width: 480,
height: 800
};
You can call it using the shell_exec command like this:
$pathToPhantomJS = 'C:\phantomjs-2.0.0-windows\bin\phantomjs';
$pathToJSScript = 'GetPage.js';
$comand = $pathToPhantomJS . ' ' . $pathToJSScript . ' ' . $site;
shell_exec($comand);
It is possible to create a CRON JOB to run the phantomjs teste.js command at a certain time.
The PhantomJS was very useful to me and it is very configurable and I could not describe all the possibilities here so I am sticking some official and non-official links that may be useful:
