User reviews

Users find the 'Save as PDF' add-on useful for quick webpage conversion and compatible with Thunderbird. However, many report it often produces blank PDFs, loses original styling, saves files to unexpected locations, relies on external conversion services causing privacy concerns, and imposes save limits requiring payment. The add-on is simple to use but has significant functionality and usability drawbacks.

Pros

Works well for quickly converting webpages to PDF.
Compatible with Mozilla Thunderbird.
Simple and straightforward to use.
Free version allows some PDF saving functionality, with a paid option for pro features.

Cons

Frequently saves blank or single blank page PDFs instead of full content.
Does not preserve original background and styles, leading to poor visibility and formatting issues.
Saves files to unclear or incorrect locations; folder creation instead of saving directly to specified path.
Uses external services for PDF conversion, which may compromise privacy and fail on sites requiring login or with access controls.
Limited number of saves in free version before prompting for paid upgrade.
