Hello!
I have just been trying out Copyto and I am impressed by it's snapshot
functionality! Good job!
However, how does it produce such exact (with images, styles and
everyything) snapshots? I would be interested in knowing since I will
shortly be implementing a snapshot functionality (as references) so
that users can submit online documents and have a cached version of it
and would like to clone the page as closely as possible.
Thank you!

Hi,
Great to hear that you liked it!
There are quite a number of tools available like webkit2png, PyWebShot
in Phyton and snapurl in Ruby but all of them are for taking
thumbnails of web pages which is the functionality I use in Copyto.
Taking screenshots of of documents is a different challenge which
unfortunately I have no information about.
