I wrote yesterday about my overall favorable first impressions of Yojimbo. Tonight a project came up that seemed the perfect test. The project included tracking down property records from the Clark County website. These records all come from a website where the display are all pages created by submitting web-forms.

That does work to an extent. Unfortunately it still does not solve having a page with useable URLS and copyable text. If it is one or two words then it will work but if it were just a couple of words I wouldn't be worried about copy and paste, but things like multi-column layouts don't copy from PDF well and Safari doesn't "print" the backgrounds and some page images when printing to PDF, at least in the tests I did.
