Create Image/pdf/screenshot of webpage on click of a button

Question

I have looked a for a way of allowing a user to click a button that will allow them to save an image or pdf of the current page. The page always chnages and relys on user input, based on this , sequences are returned , colored in different ways. So any way that will allow the user to take a screenshot and download it or save page as image , via a button or link. Can anyone help??

That's not a just like "add the button", you'll need many lines of code on the server-side if you'll decide to do it on your own.

If you really want to add the button only, I'd suggest to use AddThis for this task, it offers hundreds of possibilites, also online PDF generating, sharing by e-mail, support for social network sites, etc etc

Yes, I asserted that, anyway maybe it's really easier to use some multipurpose widget, than create all the server-side stuff. Just a suggestion. – biesior Jul 27 '12 at 16:48
