- Rated 1 out of 5by iji, 7 years agoI was "printing" a page with selected and unselected radio buttons. The extension not only deleted the buttons, but upon closing, it reset all the radio buttons. LOL
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12705177, 7 years agoApart from the points that others have made here, I miss an entry where I can decide where to put the pdf file. I don't want my SSD where C:/ lives to be cluttered with stuff. The PDF does NOT belong into the TEMP folder. That behaviour is like that of people who throw everything they bring home onto one large pile in some corner.
Back to the lab! - Rated 2 out of 5by derei, 7 years agocould use a visual marking like HP Smart Print, to mark the unwanted elements, then a preview mode to see the final result...
instantly removing elements causes annoyance when there are several undo-steps to make.
Sometimes, some elements can be removed unintentionally, or the use can change their mind about one previously removed element.
In this current situation, to restore one element, has to undo everything and redo all the operations while skipping that one element... - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13343420, 7 years agodoes not work on gmail.com, while i downloaded it for gmail.com. what a bad test from mozilla.
works good. but print edit extension was better. the only problem in this extension is it dont have so much feature like google chrome & its delete function deletes matter when selected without asking. if it ask before deletion of selected item, it looks better .Developer response
posted 7 years ago1. Unfortunately Firefox doesn't allow us to make an extension with similar functionality as Chrome.
2. You can undo the deletion. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12728683, 7 years agoJust installed this extension on FF v56.0.2 and it does absolutely nothing when I click the button. I restarted FF and still nothing! Is this extension incompatible with some other extensions? Which ones? If anyone can offer a solution - I'll try again. Otherwise guess I'll move on.
Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled as requested. Version is 2.1.0. Now get "Ack! Invalid URL' when I try using this extension. Maybe not ready for "prime time"?Developer response
posted 7 years agoCan you uninstall and reinstall once?
If it still doesn't work, click Tools -> Addons and then "More" next to "PrintFriendly & PDF" and tell us the version number. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12443174, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Fergy, 7 years agoIt just shows the article without the rest of the page and just saves to a simple small PDF.
Just the way I like it - Rated 4 out of 5by arnofly, 7 years agoI tried many extensions and this one offer the best result. Keeps the text, so you can search a word or copy/paste from the PDF and lets you clean the page easily before. So good!
Works on Firefox 56 and ready for Firefox 57.
EDIT: good to print the text and also some pictures of a web page, not to keep a perfect copy of a web page in PDF. - Rated 1 out of 5by 18HopeCSF, 7 years agoImposible to work with, it removes pieces of the page you're seeing without any criteria and doesn't let you indicate if you want to keep something or not.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13346998, 7 years agoНа предпросмотре всё замечательно, но при сохранении в pdf запросто может разбить картинку на 2 страницы и оставить огромные промежутки перед и после изображения. Не справляется с формулами.
Из плюсов - красивый предпросмотр и возможность сохранять страницы, на которых необходимо авторизоваться. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12623088, 7 years agoMaybe I'm missing something here. The extension has a single button that randomly removes big chunks of web pages. The user has no control over what to remove and what to keep. There is only an option to remove images, but most of the time the extension already removes many images by default, so this part doesn't work right.
The results on most pages are really bad.
I tested this on Google news, Amazon, and other pages I use. This is totally useless.
A suggestion to the author: refer to the Print Edit extensions which do this much better, and offer many editing options. - Rated 2 out of 5by CanIregisterThisTime, 7 years agoCan't print my health insurance card, for example...it messes with the formatting and it's no longer a card.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13284922, 7 years agoApparently doesn't save images as-is or at least compressed. A page I tried was 1.5 MB directly saved and 6.5 MB as a generated PDF.
Sometimes nothing happens when the button is clicked. At least some sort of feedback or error message would be nice.Developer response
posted 7 years agoCan you give us an example of page where nothing happens? Some sites like Linkedin block third party scripts. There is no way to show even an error message in that case. - Rated 5 out of 5by leano benefico, 7 years agoestenstensione davvero utile, permette di trasformare qualunque pagina internet in un pdf dando la possibilità di sceglire anche gli elementi da eliminare prima di creare il pdf o stampareil file
- Rated 5 out of 5by Caglar, 7 years agoThere is not much to say. It just works very nicely and its extremely useful. Thanks for this!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13255253, 7 years ago1) This service uses an external server for processing your often PRIVATE data. Take it as someone reads your financial correspondence, contents of your bank account, when you are "printing" them out into PDF.
And the author keeps it in secret
2)Unlike stated, this plugin does not print the page to PDF untouched. Many formatting and background elements are removed. The page can not serve as an evidence anywhere, when printed using this plugin.Developer response
posted 7 years ago1. We don't store your personal data and all PDFs generated are deleted within two hours. Our privacy policy outlines in detail the collection and usage of any information.
If you have any suggestions to make this clearer, we are happy to hear them.
2. The description of the plugin clearly states that we modify the page - "Makes a Printer Friendly & PDF version of any webpage. Removes navigation, ads, and junk" - Where do we state that we leave the page untouched? - Rated 5 out of 5by Calystor, 7 years agoC'est tout ce dont j'avais besoin, simple à utiliser avec possibilité de pdf et de plus multi-process, à jour. Que demander de plus ?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Toby Tyler Hilden, 7 years agoOne of the best ones I have used and quick. LOVE IT. The option to delete irrelevant content is a godsend. Thank you!!!!! If you are able to update the coding to allow the end user to perhaps press and hold the CTRL Key and use their mouse to select multiple items to delete would be great for us power users.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12157776, 7 years agoMany Thanks, It is very useful for me to save html as PDF.
- Rated 5 out of 5by NonIndigenous, 7 years agoI've been looking for something like this, that is fast and easy to use, and highly customizable. The add-on lets you click on a small cross in the top right corner of various elements on the web-page, should you chose to remove them from the final printed (or pdf) version. YOU, as the user, get to decide what you want or don't want in the document.
You can also send the version immediately by email to someone, without all the interim processes such as opening pdf, checking it, naming it, opening your emails, attaching it, etc.
If your work requires things such as frequent exchange of online articles with someone, and you like to keep electronic backups (instead of just weblinks), this saves a lot of time and helps you focus on doing the actual work instead of playing around with pdf and email settings half the time.
However, this add-on occasionally omits small details, such as tables. Shit happens. It's still the best and most reliable tool I have found. - Rated 5 out of 5by Cindy Bahl, 7 years agoI've been searching for a way to turn web pages into pdf's and it has been a struggle. This is the first application that gave me exactly what I needed! Kudos to a great extension!
