How to Save a Yammer Post and Comments as an Image or PDF
Question details
Capture an entire Yammer post and its comments when the content is longer than the visible screen.
- Product
- Yammer
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to save a complete Yammer discussion thread for offline viewing, archiving, or sharing.
- Observed behavior
- Standard screenshots are limited to the visible screen and cannot capture the full length of the post and comments in a single file.
Ensure you have the Yammer (Viva Engage) mobile app installed on a smartphone that supports the scrolling screenshot or scroll capture feature.
Use the Mobile Scrolling Screenshot Feature
Use your smartphone's built-in scroll capture tool to stitch the entire Yammer thread into one continuous image, which can then be converted to a PDF.
Most modern iOS and Android devices come equipped with a scrolling screenshot feature that allows you to capture long web pages or app feeds seamlessly. This is the most efficient way to capture a Yammer post without breaking it into multiple hard-to-read images.
Launch the Yammer (or Viva Engage) mobile application on your smartphone and navigate directly to the post and comments you want to save.
Press the standard screenshot button combination for your device (typically the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously).
Immediately tap the 'Scroll Capture' or 'Full Page' icon that appears in the screenshot toolbar at the bottom or corner of your screen.
Continue tapping the scroll button until the screen automatically scrolls through all the comments you wish to include, then save the final long image to your gallery.
Open the captured long image in your phone's gallery app. Select the 'Share' or 'More' menu, choose 'Print', and select 'Save as PDF' as your destination to convert the image file into a PDF document.
Convert Long Screenshots to PDF Easily with WPS Office
After capturing your Yammer post as a long scrolling image, use WPS Office to quickly convert it into a high-quality PDF. You can also annotate, compress, and share the PDF directly from the app.
- 1. Open WPS Office: Launch the WPS Office application on your mobile device or computer.
- 2. Select Image to PDF: Navigate to the 'Tools' tab and select the 'Image to PDF' conversion feature.
- 3. Import Your Screenshot: Browse your gallery and select the long scrolling screenshot of your Yammer post.
- 4. Convert to PDF: Adjust the page layout or margins if needed, then tap 'Convert' to generate your PDF document.
- 5. Save and Share: Save the newly created PDF file to your local device or WPS Cloud for easy access and sharing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I save a Yammer post as a PDF directly from my desktop web browser?
Yes. On a desktop browser, you can open the Yammer post, press Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P on Mac) to open the print dialog, and select 'Save as PDF'. However, be aware that this native printing method might cut off dynamic elements or format the comments poorly compared to taking a full-page screenshot.
Why is the scroll capture option missing when I take a screenshot?
The scroll capture feature may be disabled in your device settings, or your phone's software might not recognize the Yammer app interface as scrollable. Check your device's 'Advanced Features' or 'Screenshot' settings to ensure scrolling capture is enabled.
How can I capture a long Yammer thread on a PC if I don't want to use my phone?
You can install a full-page screenshot extension on your desktop browser (such as GoFullPage for Chrome or Edge). These tools automatically scroll down the web page, capture everything, and allow you to download the result as a PNG or PDF.
