(2024-11-20) Юрій Волошин: 25.05.2018. perfect tool, thanks to author! 20.11.2024. The new interface is unusual, but user-friendly!
(2024-03-14) Patty Arnó Tirado: I don't have a clue of how this app got installed in my browser as I am the only user, but I just got home and as soon as I opened chrome, got the "print friendly extension has been installed" tab/message out of the blue. No my computer is not hacked, no I didn't install it by accident.
(2023-11-07) Ming Fly: good, print Friendly!!!.
(2023-11-05) Cody Smith: So intuitive, user-friendly, and helpful. Has great smart defaults. Nearly plug and play and super easy to use. It's amazing this is free. Thank you so much for this!
(2023-10-28) Robin Lee: PrintFriendly version 3.4.6 doesn't work as well as before. It used to be that clicking on "Download Your PDF" would create a PDF with a filename same as the article title, with the last download location already selected. But since Oct 27, 2023, "Download Your PDF" will open a separate tab in the browser with a PDF named something like "pdf_[string of numbers]Letter.pdf", which requires it to be renamed and saved to a chosen location. So version 3.4.6 requires more steps to save a PDF.
(2023-10-23) Dean Kennedy: Would love to see it remember the default page size for PDF so that I don't always have to swap from Letter to A4. This was the old functionality -- but now it is always showing as Letter when I click the PDF button (which isn't even in alphabetical order vs "A4"). Would love the option to change this -- and ideally choose other common sizes too (A3 for me would be great, but I'm sure Legal and Tabloid/Ledger and other common sizes would be great too). Otherwise I love it. I think the tools are great for deleting and editing and I use them to clean up docs all the time where it's hard for Print-Friendly to pick up on what not to include (not your fault -- it's the way the web page coding is done on some sites).
(2023-10-15) K T: Kind of a disappointment that it doesn't give you the choice to include images or not. Most of the time, it's only giving text when there are images present and I'd like both or at least the option. **Update*** I've used this more and more and like it better now that images come up and allow some deletion but it's suddenly stopped giving the PDF download option. I hope it's fixed soon. ***Update again*** PDF download came back but no longer recognizes the whole page. Frustrating. I no longer recommend this add on. Skip it and find something else more reliable. It just doesn't work like it did before.
(2023-10-14) Diêgo Araújo: Perfeita!!
(2023-10-11) Petr Nuska: Worked just fine yesterday. Today, when attempting to "Save PDF", I've got too many redirects error. Is that something that could be fixed?
(2023-10-10) George Shoemaker: I was trying to print a Medium article. PrintFriendly knocked the PDF down from 20+ pages to 5. Really easy to truncate elements you don't want. Good tool
(2023-10-07) Hon Vuong: very good software
(2023-10-06) V R: Constantly tells me pages with more than a couple of images are too big to convert, so almost completely useless.
(2023-09-07) nporter: I use this extension on my Chrome browser ALL the time. It's wonderful as I can delete content I don't want, ads are automatically removed making a much cleaner document & I can resize images that are often overblown on webpages. One thing that surprised me is that I recently just used it on Microsoft Edge & was surprised that there was an "Edit" button where you could add text & other formatting options. Is this not available on Chrome yet or have I missed that setting?
(2023-09-05) Ashutosh Patel: Awesome Extension very useful to customize your traditional PDF view.
(2023-09-04) Krishnendu Laha: For some reason the rendering is not that good on Chrome or any Chromium based browser. Tried on Edge and Vivaldi. But works like charm on Firefox and Safari. Weird that it works on less popular browsers rather than most popular browser engine 🤦‍♂️
(2023-08-31) Get This: 31 Aug 2023: Getting "We're sorry, but something went wrong" message all the time. Please fix this.
(2023-08-31) Prantik Banerjee: The best available tool. But not working from today. The following error message is being displayed: "We're sorry, but something went wrong. If you are the application owner check the logs for more information." Please help.
(2023-08-31) MzBee: Forced into downloading it....unable to use it...very difficult to use
(2023-08-29) Steve Marshall: The extension fails on some pages that the printfriendly website has no trouble with. I was hoping the extension would make it easier to use this great service!
(2023-08-12) Milan Kušnjačić: Prije je radilo dobro. Sad pretpregled više ne prikaže sve slike ili uopće ne prikaže, ne mogu se ukloniti svi neželjeni dijelovi.
(2023-08-12) Stephen Omilianowski: I have never been able to get it to successfully print a web page in a more friendly layout. Chrome's print is about the same result each time.
(2023-08-03) Ipek Kizil: it is horrible, changed the whole layout. the name should not be print friendly.
(2023-08-02) Luis Beccabunco: Una excelente herramienta, indispensable. Desde hace años lo tengo instalado, sin embargo últimamente esta creando saltos de paginas absurdos, innecesarios creando documentos de 3 paginas que caben perfectamente en 1 sola... no comprendo por qué ya que funcionaba perfectamente.
(2023-07-31) Vince Kuraitis: Generally pretty good but 1) sometimes misses graphics entirely, and/or 2) graphics show up in the preview yet are not printed. One workaround is to get a .pdf version of your webpage. In my experience a .pdf version is much better at showing all content.
(2023-07-25) Симбат «Simbat» Аракелян: Просто шикарное расширение. Раньше приходилось просто пдфить и танцевать с бубном в редакторе, чтобы было адекватно читаемо - теперь это делается за секунду
(2023-07-15) Julian LaFreniere: I never do reviews unless the thing being reviewed makes an impact or surprises me in a good (or bad) way. This was better than I expected it to be. I needed to find a way to copy a webpage and I have found that my version of 2019 Word is worse at copying them and keeping formatting and pictures/text than the older 2013 (and 2016) version(s)! Not sure why, but they older ones did a better job. It's like Microsoft disabled or something out of the Copy & Paste into Word process. Anyways, this extension was awesome because saving it as a PDF works just fine for what I am using them for. I recommend giving it a trying it you are looking for something similar.
(2023-07-09) Andrew Dale: This extension allows you to print out pages and delete the stuff you don't need, but even more impressive is the customer service and response! I have never seen anything quite like it. Their customer support is a 15 out of 10! Highly recommend this extension!
(2023-07-03) WOKE!: ice nice nice oh
(2023-06-13) Wesley Brouse: So easy to use, can grab just about any site and lets you get rid of any unneeded text. 10/10
(2023-06-07) Brittany Assunto: Great tool! Allows you to easily delete any parts of the page that you do not want to print. This extension works very well and is easy to use.
(2023-06-07) Rajesh Ragavendran: Best tool to print any kind of Webpages!
(2023-06-07) Ante Milardović: Best extension ever! Only wish you could do more to change fonts and font sizes.
(2023-06-01) Сергей Франчук: Очень удобное расширение. Спасибо разработчикам!
(2023-05-22) Young Little: 为开发者点赞！太好用了。唯一不足的是转为PDF后，公式间的换行没了，导致公式连在一起
(2023-05-18) Fahad Ahmed Sajal: Great extension . But i wish you may enable "Image" saving option and add "Share" option on next update.
(2023-05-12) Mo Liu: It doesn't work when needed. Especially on the Facebook page.
(2023-04-19) Quân Cây Đa: Only text without any image if saving Pdf file.
(2023-04-17) Robert Bernstein: Thank you so much! So many sites now are pure evil in terms of making it impossible to print from them. Your program lets me print, while saving paper and eliminating the rubbish! I definitely will donate! Thanks!
(2023-04-13) Dr Peter Yau: this extension is super friendly, very compatible to many websites and actually help to save the world by cutting paper prints with unwanted part removed.
(2023-04-11) 余翔: 太棒了，打印利器！！！！！
(2023-04-09) 姜繁: https://blog.csdn.net/hzf0701/article/details/107643772 能不要自动过滤博客文章的发表日期、版权等信息？或者让用户可以手动选择删除就更完美了！
(2023-04-03) cheppu ra bommardhi: really I love this Extension ....I tried many extensions but no one beat this extension Class 12 Business Studies🤞🤞🤞
(2023-03-25) Oleg Shubaly: Просто супер! Перед збереженням сторінки сайту у pdf у попередньому перегляді дозволяє видалити зайве.
(2023-03-25) Sorma00: Incredibile estensione! Davvero facile e utile!
(2023-03-25) One Shot: The best because it works right from my computer.
(2023-03-20) Shoto Ji: Brilliant!
(2023-03-19) David Robinette: I've been using Print Friendly for the last 4 years and it works perfectly for me (Windows 10 and 11 only.) Don't know if there is a Mac version. This app is a real time saver and one of the very few I have experimented with that does exactly what it says, and does it perfectly every time.
(2023-03-07) Juliana Koh: AWESOME Thanks for this - have been looking for ways to simplify print page (this useful feature was previously available in Chrome but have been missing for quite a while).
(2023-02-27) Toby Vũ: Tốt
(2023-02-09) Cee Pol: It actually worked and captured everything.
