There is also a browser version… thanks to the folks at www.PrintFriendly.com for creating these green tech tool!
My other favorite (free) printing app is from GreenPrint World, a free version of GreenPrint software for home users. It incorporates an easy to use PDF writer that provides an alternative to printing. After you download and install the application it creates a new, green printer that you can select whenever you want to save a document as a pdf.
do i have this?
i just decided to start posting worthy new plugin discoveries as I come across them. i try them here first to be sure they are dependable and then… Yes. It can easily be installed. I would be glad to add it.
Do you know if there is a similar plugin that is hosted 100% on your server that works in the same manner as Print Friendly? My boss wants something like this but doesn’t want any pages going to a third party i.e. Print Friendly. Thanks!
The problem with that is creating the PDF which requires some sophisticated application, more than a plugin. This is the best I have found so far, otherwise perhaps you could get Adobe and generate the PDFs in-house and then offer them as a download.
