- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15401305, 7 years agoThe best add-on for the functionality offered.
There are some issues for me though:
- blurred images here and there (example: https://medium.com/@atippy83/guitarix-the-pi-dle-board-8d6298ca8e42)
- cannot "print to PDF" GitHub pages (gives me blank page)
Thanks for the great work.
Thanks for the reply.
I am using Firefox extension "Print Friendly & PDF" (v2.1.0 at the moment).
The one referenced in your reply, from printfriendly.com, is v1.3 (according to the filename).
Are these the same extension/add-on, and if so, why would the "older" version be better/work
for the pages in question?Developer response

The FireFox store will not allow us to have a ClientSide extension. However, if you get the FireFox extension available from PrintFriendly.com/extensions/firefox it will work on the following pages.

Github requires clientside extension. PrintFriendly.com/extensions/firefox - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14617597, 7 years agoA round-about way to save the page as PDF, but works for my purpose. Useful for pages where printing as PDF with a pdf printer does not capture whole page . Would be 5-star if it did not have to send the page to 3rd party website.
- Rated 4 out of 5by jonestheastronomer, 7 years agoI often use websites with graphs and equations - these are generally but not always well rendered by this add-on and the ability to make images smaller on the printout is excellent. In that sense this is the "best of kind". My only gripe is that if I use the email facility to send my processed document, the resized images turn up full size! That's surely a bug (unless I have made a mistake). So only 4 stars until this is fixed.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13011276, 7 years agovery useful. i just wish they keep the text formatting of the original document. it is much better looking and legible when it is seen in color and original style.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14962444, 8 years agoGreat button to have in browser. Its best function are the options to re-size text and images.
Occasionaly, parts of a website's text are missing in the generated PDF, but this add-on generally creates well laid out documents, even lower in size that other print options.
Support for an issue was prompt and personalised. Good work! - Rated 4 out of 5by sky_blue, 8 years agoI'm pretty happy with this addon. I have had some issues with text not being properly sized and with elements not deleting properly when I click on them. I'd like to ask that the developer also please consider adding an option for serif fonts (they're much easier for me to read than sans-serif). Thank you!
- Rated 4 out of 5by ff201307, 8 years agoVery useful extension. Especially the possibility to remove unnecessary elements is great.
Would it be possible in the future that you can change the page format in the preview (up / down)? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14561444, 8 years agoIt needs Internet connection. Great tool indeed
- Rated 4 out of 5by Alistair George, 8 years agoExcellent only one thing I'd suggest is settings/Toolbar OR Menu (right click)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14182082, 8 years agoThank you! This tool is very useful and I use it a lot.
I only ran into two recurring problems:
1. The preview includes, at the end of the article, junk links to other pages or sites. The editing tool sometimes requires up to 100 clicks to clean them up. I suspect it is because of the way these sites were written but it would be so cool if it could detect and eliminate these junk links by default; (E.g. http://www.bursa.ro/sua-si-ue-proiect-zero-taxe-pentru-bunurile-industriale-non-auto-350658&s=international&articol=350658.html)
2. The tool cannot automatically detect the name of some pages, only the domain (so, when saved, the file names will look something like "domain.com-.pdf", "domain.com-(1).pdf", etc.) (E.g. all articles from http://www.caleaeuropeana.ro/)
Thank you for this awesome tool and for the ongoing support! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14129056, 8 years agoI like this add-on because:
- It doesn't create a mess PDF.
- It generates bookmarks. - Rated 4 out of 5by Alvaro De León, 8 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by skaizun, 8 years agoI was surprised at how quickly this installed and ran, and the results were close to what I wanted (i.e., no images, ads, etc; mostly text). I could hover my mouse over the printable areas, and the add-on automatically highlighted the block that could be deleted, with a clickable "trash can" icon to remove it. However, when I clicked the text size icon, and selected a smaller size, it only resized about 25% of the text. Multiple attempts to select the others and resize them failed. When I printed what seemed to be a single page, it printed two pages; my printer defaults to duplex printing, but, it didn't do that, which implies that the add-on prints one page at a time, which wastes paper, if you don't want one-sided sheets, which seems counterintuitive to its, otherwise, "green" functionality. When I finished printing the two pages, I hit the 'X' in the upper-right of the add-on page (i.e., NOT the browser or tab), and it closed the tab, rather than return me to the original page, which, fortunately, was still in cache (i.e., I didn't have to re-enter all the form information and re-submit it to get what I needed). When I re-opened that page, the printer indicated that two more pages needed to be printed! Keep in mind that I was not on the add-on page result, so this was very odd (maybe it needs to "flush" itself?). I did not print the "rest," so I have no idea what it thought it was going to print! Some tweaking is definitely needed, but, I was satisfied with the overall result.

How about fixing the comments in the social media!? "LiveJournal" for example. Please check this page:
https://welder-history.livejournal.com/1211.html#cutid1 - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13849230, 9 years agoSe puede eliminar fácilmente elementos de la página con un simple click.

- Rated 4 out of 5by u., 9 years agoGreat addon, great to just kick out unwanted elements, still one thing is missing: One should get the chance to adjust the background color. I do print science website content frequently and there are always authors who publish their diagrams as .gif or .png with transparancy and white lines on dark background.
My workaround for the moment is to generate the print page, rightclick on the background and adjust the CSS backgroundcolor-tag to something appropriate like #444 with the developer tools, then print the document NOT with the addon but with the standard browser print function.
Hope one of the developers reads this, thanks! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13765861, 9 years agobest I've found for this task
would be nice if it was more careful about including source / author / date etc - I often have to edit the pdf after to include this info - Rated 4 out of 5by gumbeto, 9 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by JustBoris, 9 years agoAlmost perfect.
Suggest that the page it creates is a new tab, which seems pretty standard for most applications, rather than using the existing tab. - Rated 4 out of 5by mullaghboy, 9 years agoBrilliant little app, should come as standard on all computers.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Дмитрий, 9 years agoЕсли на странице есть вставки BMP, аддон их выкидывает сходу. Знаю, что такое бывает редко, но страницы не я создавал, но сохранить не могу(( А жаль, адон оч клёвый и продуман хорошо(((
