Why does Chrome show a "debugger attached" notification banner?

This extension uses the browser's native print engine (Page.printToPDF) to generate high-fidelity PDFs. To use this API, the extension must briefly attach a debugger to the active tab. Chrome will display a yellow notification banner at the top of the screen while the debugger is active. The debugger is detached immediately after the PDF is generated, and the banner disappears. This is expected behavior and does not mean the extension is doing anything harmful.

Images are missing or not showing in the PDF.

This can happen with lazy-loaded images that haven't been fetched by the browser yet. Try scrolling the content area into view so that all images load before you export. Then re-select the element and export again.

The extension doesn't work on some pages.

The extension cannot run on Chrome system pages (e.g. chrome:// URLs), the Chrome Web Store itself, or local files (file:// URLs). These are security restrictions enforced by Chrome. On all regular websites, the extension should work normally.

The PDF has unexpected black borders around elements.

On some pages (particularly news sites like the BBC), using the ↑/↓ keys after locking a selection may trigger the host page's focus styles, resulting in a visible outline around the element. This is a known issue that will be addressed in a future update. As a workaround, try selecting the element without using the keyboard navigation keys.

Can I use this on Firefox?

No. This extension uses Chrome's debugger API for PDF generation, which is not available on Firefox. It is compatible with Chrome and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based).

Does this extension send my data anywhere?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. No page content, usage data, or personal information is sent to any external server. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

What are the keyboard shortcuts?

While in selection mode:

• ↑ — Expand selection to parent element
• ↓ — Narrow selection to child element
• Enter — Export PDF
• Esc — Cancel and exit selection mode

The PDF is cutting off content at the bottom.

This can happen on pages where the selected element has children with dynamic heights or overflow: hidden styling. Try selecting a parent element that contains all the content you want to export, or scroll through the content to ensure it is fully rendered before exporting.
