- Rated 5 out of 5by Andrea, 9 months agoFinally an extension that can do a print to pdf without cutting text and pages, but the "Prevent Repeated Elements (Change fixed position to absolute)" option is essential.
(need "restore to default" and really remove date and url from header and footer, please).

posted 9 months agoHi Andrea, I'm not sure what you need to be rolled back with "restore to default." You could open an issue at https://github.com/jscher2000/printable-print-doctor-extension/issues or send me a message at jscher2000@outlook.com with more details.
I definitely should add control over headers/footers. I have a different add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/save-to-pdf-now/) which has a more comprehensive panel, so it's certainly possible, I just didn't think to add it here, too. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18349779, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by hmijail, 2 years agoThe only addon that was able to generate a PDF with youtube boxes and selectable text, for free.
- Rated 5 out of 5by usonianhorizon, 2 years agoThis Add-on has solved a maddening problem for me: UPS.com invoices would show, for the most part, as blank either when saving as PDF or when printing obscuring the most critical information. Recently I stumbled across this Add-on, and it worked just as the instructions outlined. Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 2 years agoHave you ever tried to print-to-PDF a Page, just to find out that Firefox (or Chrome), for some dumb reason, decided that it'd be a very good idea to convert the whole Page into a series of screenshots, instead of text, resulting in a huge PDF with non-searchable/indexable content. Other times, it might even print text as text, but clipping the content, literally cutting lines in the middle, leaving the upper part of characters on one page and the lower part on the next. Those and other extremely annoying nuisances can be solved, most of the time, by disabling custom fonts and removing all CSS... What makes the resulting Page look like crap and, worst, lose content (like list bullets and numbering, nowadays done entirely as style, instead of being part of the content...) Anyway, this extension tries to solve the printing problems, either to actual paper or to PDF, without completely destroying the Page styling. Some changes may or have to happen for that to be accomplished, but it's a necessary trade and would have to be done, anyway, if the Page was intended to be printed from the very beginning. It reduces lots of time otherwise wasted manually hacking Pages (pressing F12 and trying to fix them), instantly becoming an essential tool for Firefox!

Am I correct in thinking that all of the processing 'Printable – The Print Doctor' does happens within the browser without transmitting anything to other servers?Developer response

Yes, that is correct.
There is some possibility that injecting the "tweak panels" into the page might be detected by a script in the page, but I don't know whether that is possible. - Rated 5 out of 5by DavidQ, 4 years agoSolved problem of when printing website to PDF the text was saved as image (and so not searchable / selectable / copyable). The 'Printable' add-on as an option to print using basic fonts that solves this problem !

posted 4 years agoAnother option would be the new "Save to PDF" printer (introduced with the new combined preview/setup/print overlay in Firefox 84). Starting in Firefox 90, it can embed links. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16382809, 4 years agoAfter 2 hours of frustration, this addon is the only way to print websites without repeated elements. Some of the news outlets I read have repeated elements on top and on the bottom like header or footer, hiding some of the text of their articles when printing. If this addon would also fix the firefox bug, where links are not preserved as such when printing to PDF, then this would be the greatest PDF addon for firefox on the market! Not nice, but actually works!

- Rated 5 out of 5by ezrider, 5 years agoGreat add-on which makes it possible to save pages as searchable PDFs. Thanks a lot!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rick216, 5 years agoReally useful when page breaks screw up the printout, covering up some of the text at the top of many pages. Just a click on Allow Page Breaks fixed it pronto. I haven't even tried other functions yet, but the page break solution and its simplicity alone was worth 5 stars. Sometimes I can solve that kind of thing -- with a bit more effort -- with the excellent PrintWhatYouLike, but not this time.
