Excellent invention! Deserves an award :-)
ReplyDeletePlease could you clarify whether adding the "print friendly" button to a webpage enables visitors to produce a "print friendly" version automatically, ie. without adding the button to their browsers?
This is what I understood from your website and YouTube video but it does not seem to work that way.
Best wishes,
Lizzie

How can I get all my blog entries in a print-friendly PDF without inserting the "Print Friendly" button on my blog? i.e. How can I get all my blog in PDF-form only for my use?
ReplyDeleteJust had to take a moment to let you know how delighted I am to find this! Very cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you to YOU and One Crazy Cookie (the blog I found it on:) Louise
@~~louise~~ Thank you :)
ReplyDelete@Artus Silenis Try using the Print Friendly browser tool, http://www.printfriendly.com/browser_tool
Yes I do, and it's a good tool!!! I really recommend it. It'll be the best thing that Google's engineers launched.
ReplyDeleteYes, you in the middle of the toolbar you'll see a menu that reads "Text Size".
ReplyDeleteHowdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Cheers
