User reviews

PDF Mage is praised for its ease of use and ability to save webpages as single-page PDFs maintaining original formatting, outperforming similar add-ons. However, multiple users report exported PDFs sometimes lack print functionality and omit pictures. There is also no option to choose save location or file name, and output PDF sizes can differ despite identical webpages.
