Printable – The Print Doctor

Tweak style rules in a page to improve printability. Save as PDF for Windows and Linux.

Printable – The Print Doctor is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the printing experience of web pages by allowing users to tweak style rules for improved printability. It offers override buttons that modify the page to fix common printing issues, such as unbreakable display types and unusual fonts. With this tool, users can hide unwanted elements like sidebars and footers, control page breaks, and ensure PDFs contain searchable text instead of images. It supports saving pages as PDFs on Windows and Linux platforms, making printed content clearer and more useful.

Ideal for users frustrated by poorly formatted prints, Printable provides intuitive controls to fix page layouts and fonts before printing. Note that it alters the original page, so it's best for non-critical pages or when original content retention is not required. For more details and usage instructions, visit the developer's website linked in the extension.

Finally an extension that can do a print to pdf without cutting text and pages, but the "Prevent Repeated Elements (Change fixed position to absolute)" option is essential. (need "restore to default" and really remove date and url from header and footer, please). ..... Finalmente una estensione in grado di fare un print to pdf senza tagliare testo e pagine, essenziale però l'opzione "Prevent Repeated Elements (Change fixed position to absolute)" .
