am i missing something or does this not work at all for PDFs even with a premium subscription? a new browser window pops up with a section to submit a pdf. so i will save a pdf, load it, and zilch. ive tried changing the properties of these saved pdfs, nothing works. the mian reason i need this is for pdf journal articles (publicly available ones), and their painful serif fonts so rigidly unchangeable that i havent found any extension or app that can alter them. PLEASE HELP! this extension works really well for websites otherwise.

I love the extension and I am so glad you made this. I would give it 5 stars, but I can't seem to find a way to disable it on specific sites. For example YouTube will actually obscure part of the video when this extension is enabled. 🤷‍♂️

Wonderful accessible version! Thank you! I can't get the pdf reader to work but I still love that this is more accessible than other tools like it. Thank you!
