Before going out and hiring someone to create this module, I wanted to see if it's even possible. I want to create a CCK field that the user can enter a URL address. This module would then create a screen capture of that URL and save a PNG file to the server than can then be accessed by ImageCache & Image API. Thanks.

Maybe, with dompdf you could create a PDF of the page:

Is that what you were thinking/looking for?

Great idea but didn't work. ImageCache cannot create a thumbnail and an image out of a PDF.

See Create PDF thumbnails with imagecache and ImageMagick while GD is still the default toolkit.

You should experiment with http://drupal.org/project/website_screenshot

Unfortunately that module won’t work for my situation because it uses a 3rd party to capture the screen shot. Using this would mean the screen grab would not be hosted on my my site and isn’t an instant screen grab as the 3rd party software takes a few minutes. Thanks.
