Is there a utility / plugin for Safari Web Browser on Window OS? I want to capture a series of pages as PNGs.
If there is a way to create a script to do it, so it is repeatable, that would be ideal.

Is there a utility / plugin for Safari Web Browser on Window OS? I want to capture a series of pages as PNGs.

After some searching, I’ve found extensions are avaialble for Safari at https://extensions.apple.com/.
Under the Photos category there is an extension called Awesome Screenshot. This adds a little menu icon to take a shot of the whole page or the visible portion. However, my pages are very large and it would cut-off the image. Looks like a defect, and I couldn’t find a way around it, so Awesome Screenshot wasn’t useful for me. I’m sure in most cases it would work fine.
There is also a Snapper extension, but it does not seem to have a way to capture the entire page, rather it only takes the visible portion. There is also an Upshot extension, which integrates with http://upshotapp.com/, but this wasn’t quite what I was looking for.
So after the extensions didn’t work out for me, I found a nice little application to convert a Web page to PDF, http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/. This worked very well, even though it create a PDF and not PNG I had hoped for, it was good enough for my purposes. Furthermore, it has –page-width and –page-height options that allow creation of the PDF page at a custom size. The running wkhtmltopdf –extended-help gives a more full explanation of all command line options.
