A Web Page Doesn’t Import

Troubleshooting > Problems with Data > A Web Page Doesn’t Import

First, make sure you are connected to the Internet and are trying to import a page that actually has the data on it and that the data are text, not pure image, such as a picture or a PDF file. (There’s no text for Fathom to import in these.)

If a Web page of data in text form doesn’t import by dragging its URL or using the Import from URL command, try selecting the data, copying it, and pasting it into an empty Fathom collection. You’ll have to copy and paste any comments separately.

Not all data will import perfectly; you might have to clean it up, either in Fathom or in another program (such as a word processor or spreadsheet).

See Paste Data into a Collection, Import Data from a Text File, or Import Data from the Internet.
