A good feature can be "Saving to PDF"!
by Pamela, 2025-01-23

It's a convenient feature I enjoy. Two wishes however: offer "save as pdf" in the options, even though you just wrap the png into the pdf - it creates trust, because everyone knows pdf and many don't know png. The second request: there should be a way to automatically store the source link of the page "saved" with the image/mht etc. files... Maybe in file-properties? It should be easy to find out, where a "saved" html document came from. Thanks for your consideration.
