posted 6 years agoQuestion Translation: A bit complex, but still not the best for PDF printing.
Print Edit WE provides some powerful editing features and this inevitably makes it a little complex. The primary function of Print Edit WE is to allow editing of a web page before printing. Saving to PDF is an additional function which uses the (rather old) Cairo library built into Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by gumbeto, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Digitho, 6 years agoUnbelievable! It perfectly meets all my need. I spent a lot of time searching for a solution to save webpage as PDF. Most of other tools make PDFs become hard to read. This tool not only keep webpage layout but also have ability to customize how the content is displayed. Especially it's FREE. It should be SIX STARS :D.
Thank you! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14214839, 6 years agoGreat ! Easy to use . It´s a must-have . I need it many times .
- Rated 5 out of 5by Amin, 6 years agoWould you please add printing swf flash to pdf, like how "Save page WE" does for Html?
Also, in the Print Edit WE there is no place to allow saving mixed passive content. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12605166, 6 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13929713, 6 years agoInspired to write first review here because I love this so much. Spent the entire day trying to find an extension that allowed me to format my web to pdf printing to be readable for my tablet. This was the only one that gave me all the options I wanted - background colors, images, eliminate headers, footers, etc, shrink to the size that I wanted.
There is a tiny bit of room for improvement in documentation so people know how to use it better (chronic problem with techies speaking to laypeople like me) and maybe making more presets for people (since I'm thinking this is why a lot of people are looking for apps like yours).
I wish Calibri would convert the finished product to epubs successfully, but this did such a nice job resizing everything that I don't even need the epub formatting.
Thank you, and good job! - Rated 1 out of 5by piecevcake, 6 years agoA pity about the arrogant dev. Reply:
1. Yes the 125,000 "users" are like me desperate to find something better than ff print - downloaded but not USING because it is unusable. No one wants to email, they just disable it like I have.
2. I am an experienced user. I learn how to use apps by trying the options and reading instructions. Impossible with your addon because of problems set out below. A pity you preferred to be rude to someone who took the time to give helpful feedback and ignored them.
3. Don't tell me what zoom level to use. Fix your app.
4. PS save as HTML pages cannot be opened in Microsoft Word. Would send a screenshot of the error details if you had a github page. But clearly you have no interest in fixing your buggy addon.
Im sad to say that this addon should be fantastic, and it is ESSENTIAL given FF pathetic print function, but the UI and information is so clunky and badly designed that it's vitually unusable. Periodically I go back, spend half a day trying to print ONE page, and give up. Other devs have an issues page on gitlab or wherever linked from the add-on page, and end up quickly with user friendly, bug-free apps. I would strongly suggest this, DW-dev. The issues are too many to go into in a review page and I'm not interested in spending more hours repeating what no doubt hundreds of other frustrated users have emailed to you, (although I have screenshotted them all and WOULD be happy to put in an issues page, if they are not already there. You would save yourself a lot of time reading emails, as well).
Just a couple of examples of primary school level issues:
1. your tool bar and dialogs should size to window, not to zoom so you cant see them if your window is not maximised or you are zoomed out viewing a large selection.
2. Available formatting should be in a sidebar with existing formatting and adjustment tools displayed side by side, not covering the selection you are trying to format, and have to close dialog to see either of the other 2.
3. Lables like "float", "clear", "block layout" need context menu instructions and explanations of what the options are supposed to do.
4. After spending hours trying and comparing each setting, you've got it right, then preview-its a total disaster and no idea how to fix it. Top element just isnt here. Next element repeats on 3 pages, page 1 and 3 otherwise blank. Zoom to fit - doesn't fit. Header and footer outside printer area, bleeding off the edges (no adjustment option). How about edit in a PREVIEW view.
5. Oh, and cursor selection is complete malfunction. Selects an area totally unrelated to where you have dragged your cursor. (Same issue noted in Web Paint.)

posted 6 years agoPrint Edit & Print Edit WE have around 125,000 users, so they probably are usable.
Currently receive about 5 email support requests a month, with very few requiring changes.
1. Print Edit WE is designed to work with 100% zoom and sets 100% zoom on entry.
2. The Inspect, Format, Text and Help panels can all be moved so that they don't obscure the current selection. There could be benefit in being able to use the Inspect panel while the Format panel is open. This is worth further investigation.
3. The Properties in the Format panel are designed for experienced users who have some knowledge of CSS. The Quick Styles in the Format Panel are designed for less experienced users.
4. Editing in preview view is not possible for a WebExtensions add-on.
5. Use 100% zoom.
Please email any response to: dw-dev@gmx.com - Rated 1 out of 5by Trubadur, 6 years agoThe installation page tells me persistently: "This add-on requires a newer version of Firefox (at least version 55.0). You are using Firefox 47.0." but I already have version 61
Developer response
posted 6 years agoDo you have Firefox 47.0 running in the background when you start Firefox 61.0?
If not, then it is very likely that your Firefox profile has become corrupted. Creating a new Firefox profile should resolve this problem. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14071110, 7 years agoBuena, solo le falta poder exportar a pdf como la versión nativa.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Talia D., 7 years agoVery useful, does exactly what it needs to do, pretty easy and fun to use!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12863709, 7 years agoThis is fantastic. For a while this has been my goto printing method.
I discovered finally the "text" button that allows me to add some spacing to tweak pagination. It would be helpful to be able to edit interactively more easily, and from the preview; that being said, this is a very, very nice addition to firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14035274, 7 years agoI can choose only elements on webpage to be printed with this extension, very effective extension!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14020091, 7 years agoThere is a problem that when I print a page with {@media print} style, Print Edit WE edits the {@media screen} style but prints the {@media print} style. It's expected to have an option to choose wheter the plugin will print the edited {@media screen} style or {@media print} style, or to directly edit the {@media print} style.
Anyway thanks for your excellent plugin. - Rated 4 out of 5by orange, 7 years agofunction to delete the unmarked rest while editing is broken at some sites like this: http://bit.ly/2ruRVY0, it used to work. ff 59 x64. besides a usefull addon. thanx
