Explanation

Your question is unclear. What do you mean by "MaplePrimes"? I think the whole content of the site www.mapleprimes.com is too big (Edit and complex) to be downloaded on your comp.

webcatching software

I believe he does mean to download the whole mapleprimes site so he can view all the questions/posts offline.

There does exist some webcatching software, I used one a few years ago however I might add as soon as someone posts a new question/post, as the software is catching the pages, then questions and posts are shifted and the program may capture duplicate questions (ie while your just saving (for example) the question at the end of page 55 just as someone posts a new one you'll end up with the same question at the beginning of page 56, albeit a minor issue.

It would be, perhaps, nice for a repository dvd library of all of the mapleprimes questions available. Most of them if not all are quite useful. As an idea it could be packaged up with the purchase of a new Maple version. I'm not worried about the logistics of how it would be done, it's just an idea.

save pages as pdf format

I just add a supplementary, I think Mr. hirnyk's answer is appropriate, the information of mapleprimes is too large. And Mr. Christopher2222 's method is very convenient. The following is another one to save some helpful pages as pdf format.

Some pages are helpful and want to download and save them, one way is:1, install adobe acrobat software, which is used to read pdf format files, and can be easily found in google to download. 2, click the "file" menu of the browser, and chose "print...", then a dialog box appeared, and chose the virtual printer named "Adobe PDF", finally, click print button in the bottom, then a pdf file will be generated and can be saved in your computer.

The appendant is a pdf file generated by this method.1.pdf

doubts as well

The forum needs 'functions' from other sites, as far as I am aware. Without editorial work I doubt it can be done in a usefull matter

catching software

Some of the software is quite intelligent. They offer options to ignore information from another sites address (it is part of a rules option you set up in the software) There are options to how many levels deep you want to save (that is click an item - go to that page - click again - go to another page) usually more than 3 deep becomes an enormously large file. You must also limit your connection rate so as not to bog the server down (very important). One other importance is that it can't just be done haphazardly, hopefully one would carry out proper usage of the software for a site so as not to interrupt the usage of the site for other members. Not to mention the software takes a long time. I'm sure most people here would use such software in a respectable manner.

That being said, it's not the most efficient way to do such things. I would hope some other offline way could be presented to maple users somehow like my dvd idea I had mentioned earlier.

Where is such soft described?

@Christopher2222 Can you kindly indicate such soft? Thanks in advance.
