Legal teams need permanent records of web content — terms of service changes, competitor claims, social media posts, regulatory filings, published statements. A bookmark isn't evidence. A screenshot isn't searchable. A timestamped PDF is both. Pretty PDF turns any webpage into a permanent, professionally formatted record.
Team and Enterprise tiers available. Free tier: 3 PDFs/month.
The PDF format offers unique advantages for legal archival and evidence preservation that no other format can match.
PDF captures content exactly as published, with the source URL and date metadata embedded in the document. Every record includes a precise timestamp establishing when the content was archived, creating an immutable point-in-time snapshot.
Unlike screenshots, PDFs contain selectable and searchable text. During discovery, legal teams can search across hundreds of archived documents to find specific terms, clauses, or statements without manually reviewing each file.
PDFs can be digitally signed and timestamped for authenticity verification. Any modification to a signed PDF invalidates the signature, providing a clear chain of custody and tamper detection for evidentiary purposes.
PDFs open on any device, any operating system, without specialized software. Whether viewed on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android, the document renders identically — critical when evidence must be reviewed by multiple parties across different systems.
Courts still accept and prefer printed documents. PDFs produce consistent, professional output on any printer, with proper pagination, margins, and formatting — unlike web pages, which break unpredictably when printed.
Web content is increasingly central to legal disputes, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance. The challenge is that web content is ephemeral — pages change, posts are deleted, terms are updated without notice. Capturing this content as permanent PDF records is essential for legal teams across industries.
Archive Terms of Service pages before and after changes for contract disputes. When a SaaS vendor modifies their terms, your archived PDFs provide a clear record of what was agreed to at the time of contract execution versus what they are claiming now. Scheduled API archival can capture ToS pages weekly or monthly, building a complete change history automatically.
Preserve competitor marketing claims, pricing pages, and product feature descriptions for false advertising cases. Marketing content changes frequently, and claims that were live yesterday may be scrubbed tomorrow. A timestamped PDF of a competitor's product page or advertisement provides admissible evidence of what was published and when.
Save social media posts, comments, and profiles before content is deleted or edited. In defamation cases, employment disputes, and intellectual property matters, social media posts are often critical evidence — and they are frequently deleted once litigation begins. Pretty PDF captures the full content of social media pages including text, images, and metadata.
Archive government publications, regulatory notices, and public filings. Regulatory content published on government websites is updated and replaced regularly. Maintaining your own archived copies ensures you can demonstrate awareness of — or compliance with — specific regulations as they existed at a particular point in time.
Perform periodic archival of your own website to demonstrate compliance with advertising standards, accessibility requirements, or privacy regulations. By archiving your own pages on a regular schedule, you build a documentary record showing that your organization maintained compliant content over time — invaluable during audits or regulatory investigations.
Purpose-built capabilities for organizations that need systematic, scalable web archival.
An organized archive with full-text search across all saved documents. Every PDF is stored in your cloud library, indexed, and instantly searchable. Locate specific records by keyword, URL, date, or content — even across thousands of archived documents.
Shared library across your legal team with consistent branded templates. All team members access the same document archive, ensuring no duplication and complete coverage. Consistent formatting across all archived documents maintains a professional standard for court submissions.
Scheduled archival via API — set up cron jobs to capture pages daily, weekly, or monthly. Automate the preservation of competitor pages, regulatory publications, or your own site content. Build systematic archival into your existing workflows without manual intervention.
Archive multiple URLs in a single API call for large-scale evidence collection. When a legal matter requires preserving dozens or hundreds of pages across multiple websites, batch processing handles the entire job efficiently — submit a list of URLs and receive organized, timestamped PDFs for each.
From webpage to permanent legal record in four steps.
Navigate to the webpage that needs to be preserved — a terms of service page, a competitor's marketing claim, a social media post, a regulatory publication, or any other web content relevant to your matter.
Use the Pretty PDF browser extension for one-click capture, or submit the URL via the API for automated archival. The system extracts the page content, removes navigation and ads, and generates a clean, professionally formatted PDF.
Every generated PDF includes the source URL and the exact generation timestamp embedded as document metadata. This provenance information establishes when the content was captured and where it originated.
The PDF is automatically saved to your cloud library, where it can be organized by case, matter, or project. Full-text search makes it easy to locate specific records across your entire archive at any time.
Permanent, timestamped PDF records of any webpage. Team and Enterprise tiers available.
