$8 for a feature safari ships with?

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

what am i missing here? can't we already "print to pdf"? what about right-clicking the page (ctrl-click) and choosing 'export to pdf'?

maybe one of my safari extensions enabled the second item (pith helmet and Stand are both installed), but the first is a system-wide feature.

not to knock the developer, but this looks like a redundant feature to me.

When you "print to PDF", the browser will render the page differently. It removes the background, it will use any "print" CSS files in the page (to alter the layout and possibly remove navigation, etc.) The upshot is, you what you see is *not* what you get.

Sometimes, and for a variety of reasons, you need exactly what you see on the screen.

Thanks for trying it out, though! :)

It must be one of your plug-ins adding this. Print as PDF prints all text, but some graphic features of the page don't get printed. Red Snapper cpatures all these. You can also save in most, if not all, the usual graphic formats.
Definitely worth $8 if you need to print or include shots of entire web pages in docs.

Safari PDF export is lacking, in that basic box color fill formatting is lost on export to name the one that drives me nuts.
