The Challenge with Standard Printing Methods

Attempting to print a Facebook profile using conventional methods often results in a chaotic and unusable output. Directly hitting the “print” button on your browser typically gives you a disorganized and scrambled representation of the profile. Additionally, “full page PDF” plugins are notorious for crashing during the process, and they fall short when it comes to expanding comments and replies on a profile, which usually requires tedious manual intervention.

Enter Page Vault Browser, a tool meticulously designed to address these challenges head-on and provide a seamless solution for legal professionals. With its built-in functionality, Page Vault Browser makes capturing, saving, and printing entire Facebook profiles a breeze, regardless of their length or complexity.

Expanding and Capturing with Ease

One of the standout features of Page Vault Browser is its "Expander" functionality. Expander is tailored specifically for capturing Facebook profiles. It works by automatically scrolling through the Facebook timeline, expanding all comments and replies on posts, ensuring that no detail is left behind. Following this, it captures the content into an easy-to-use PDF format, ready for printing or archiving.

Authenticity and Credibility

In the realm of legal proceedings, the authenticity of evidence is paramount. Page Vault Browser understands this and ensures that all captures and printed profiles are an exact replica of their online counterparts. To bolster the credibility and support the authenticity of the captures, metadata is included with each printout. This vital metadata encompasses IP addresses, time and date stamps, and URL addresses, providing a comprehensive and reliable record of the captured content.
