Take a screen shot of a scrolling window that includes off-screen parts [closed]

On the Mac, how can I take a screen shot of a window that includes the parts that are off-screen and need scrolling to become visible?

The built-in Grab application can capture individual windows, but it only includes the parts that are on-screen at the moment.

Clarification: By "off-screen" I mean parts that are in the window, but are not visible, because the window has scrollbars. I do not mean parts of the window that are simply off-screen because of how the window is positioned (of course, I want those, too).

Solution 1:

LittleSnapper will capture whole web pages, but not capture scrolled window contents in applications such as Finder.

Here is a website with 6 Screenshot Utilities (including LittleSnapper and some others that will capture whole pages).

There is a utility specifically for Finder listings called Print Window.

Solution 2:

Update (2021)

The ability to do this is now built into Safari and is super easy.

File > Export as PDF... will get you what you want in most cases.

See this answer for more details on how to snapshot a whole page or a sub-section of the page.

There are also similar capabilities in Firefox & Chrome.

Original answer

Snagit is the only software I've found for the mac that can do this for scrolling application windows as well as web pages.

There is a pretty good tutorial available, but basically when you are making a capture you can click on the vertical scrolling button and it will manually scroll the application window and piece together all the shots to make a comprehensive shot - very helpful!

Hope this helps!
