Features & Capabilities

Description

Safe PDF allows you to make a full-page screenshot of a web-page and save it as a PDF file. This PDF file also contains the text content of the HTML page (but not at the actual text location in the screenshot).

Why is this useful?

It allows users to save HTML pages "as they see them", while still making it possible to search based on text content in the PDF files. This stands in contrast to using "print as PDF", which almost always results in a heavily distorted view of the web-page.

Limitations:

Long web-pages are not captured in their entirety (>32700 pixels long).
Dynamically loaded content can cause artifacts in resulting screenshots.
Some web-pages only show what is visible in the current view-port.

Privacy:

This browser extension runs fully in your local browser (i.e., it does NOT communicate with any external server).

Permissions:

"activeTab": Needed to take the screenshot.
"contextMenus": Needed to add a custom option to the Context Menu (see GitHub).
"scripting": Needed to determine the height of the full web-page and to notify the user (see GitHub).
"tabs": Needed to get the title of the active tab, used in generating the PDF filename.

Is Save PDF Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Save PDF requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
