by Firefox user 12657887, 7 years agoHi dw-dev,
first of all thank you for your work. I use your extension very often, therefore I am really unhappy on how complicated the usage got, when you changed the UI for WE compatibility. It was way more intuitive (and WYSIWYG) to edit the webpage in the print preview pane than it is in this special EDIT mode, where still sometimes "smart" webpages change / delete content of form fields and - even more disasterous - wipe the whole form when I end EDIT mode.
But this is not what i want to complain about. The thing what really makes it hard for me the last days is the fact that - I am talking about Print Edit WE v23.2 - the "PDF Setup" menu - hidden in the SAVE dialog - now not only lacks the possibility to directly input a "Scale (%)" in the corresponding text field, but also the up-down-arrows ("spin-button") have gone, so that I cannot adjust the scale with the arrows any longer. Therefore webpages often get to small or to large on the standard PDF page after saving with Print Edit WE. Could you please fix this bug?
And could you also tell us, whether it is possible to return to the former save dialog, which was embedded in the print preview pane like it was before the WE times?
Thank you very much in advance! Thomas
Edit 14.Nov.2018: I notice that you updated to 23.3. You changed both direct input into the "Scale (%)" text box and also re-attached the spin-button. I have added a star for this. Thanks a lot! Now I can use the WE extension like before. I still would appreciate a comment concerning the rest of my message.

posted 7 years agoWith the new WebExtensions APIs, it is not possible to do the editing or the saving in the print preview window. Please can you provide a link to page where the content of form fields is changed. As you have noted, the PDF Setup Scale bug was fixed in Verion 23.3.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kryzalin, 20 days agoText within dropdown items are no longer printed with Firefox 142.0 for me.
Also, it would be nice to know a location to report extension issues besides in a review. - Rated 5 out of 5by numbchild, 21 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by cipher_nemo, a month agoNo longer works with Firefox 141 versions. Elements on page are scrambled, and nothing is selectable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by random name generator, a month agosimple and easy to use. does what it says on the tin.
especially great for when people send you emails with messy formatting and you need to print them out for paperwork purposes.
very basic knowledge of html is recommended to use it to the full potential, but the ui is well-designed enough for anybody to use it, with or without html knowldge. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19141042, 2 months agoDirectly lets you save as PDF, with save as dialog and the option to edit and set up the page beforehand!
HOWEVER: saving as html does NOT work for me.Developer response
posted a month agoIn order to Save As HTML, you must install the Save Page WE add-on as well as Print Edit WE. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13443993, 2 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12521173, 3 months agoDoesn't work or do any of its functions, don't know why it's listed as "Recommended." Graphics still show up in print, edits don't get saved, the interface itself is ambiguous, user unfriendly, and unintuitive. Why is this broken tool even on the list??

- Rated 5 out of 5by SM, 4 months agoDoes the job as expected. It is easy to select different parts of the page and print only what's required. I like that fact that it does not require a reload of the page, either when clicking the extension or when closing it down.
I would love an 'auto' function that gets rid of stuff automatically, and the user can tweak further if needed (or undo).
It would be more helpful if the buttons & functions had a small tooltip description about what each sub-component does.
If both these are available already, then they need to be highlighted more obviously. Perhaps a (skippable) mini-tutorial when the extension is installed. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18939808, 5 months ago
