User reviews

good but you can use once a day
by Nilesh Patel, 2021-05-24

This extension does not work the way the same company's website interface does: https://pdfmyurl.com/. The website URL to PDF works extremely well - the best of about 8 services I tested. (For a free choice, just use Chrome's "Print" functionality and select "Save as PDF" - but https://pdfmyurl.com/ works slightly better so it was worth $15/yr.) Bottom line: The website functionality is great; the same functionality in this toolbar extension is junk. PDFs for some websites are illegible (though they turn out great at the website).
