This extension adds two new buttons to your Gmail interface. One orange PDF button and one blue PDF button. The orange button can be used to generate distraction-free PDF documents and the blue one generates a normal PDF document.
Notes:
1. The orange button is called “simple” mode of operation. In this mode, your emails are reformated and all the images, lines, and any other distracting elements are removed from the document before PDF file is generated. This is useful to generate PDF for fast reading.
2. The blue button is called “normal” mode of operation. In this mode, the “window.print” function is called and the generated document is the standard format.
3. This extension does NOT send your documents to an external server for conversion as this violates user’s privacy. The extension uses a local JavaScript library called jsPDF for all its conversions.
4. By default, no image is attached to your document if the “simple” mode is selected so that there would be no image fetching from remote servers.

Great, just what I needed! (Fast email data/information in a PDF file)
The non-simple (blue) button works great, but the simple (orange) button, which is what I would greatly prefer – the whole point of installing this extension was to stop the several button clicking hoops to save an email as a PDF – always saves in a landscape mode and the text is weird, no matter how I alter the settings.
muy interesante esta aplicaciòn
ok
Just get the original pitch for the product. Not ready to be used; just a pitch machine.
You have to create an account with them before you can use this extension. They then get to see your email even though they say they don’t. “We may use your email to send you newsletters and the latest info” It’s not clear to me why they need you to have an account if they don’t send the e-mails to a server. I think they do…. I don’t need an account with them, it’s coming off the computer.
Hi,
nice extension.
What came to my attention is that if one changes the gMail view to either vertical or horizontal split your extension (your buttons) is not visible. Would you mind re-coding that in any chosen view your buttons are visible?
Thank you so much in advance for your kind consideration.
cheers

I can’t even click the button to download when I do it just stays grayed out.
I am getting the same results as Mac Rempel. I get empty/blank page PDF files for all PDF’s in simple mode. The simple mode is the whole reason for installing this extension. Without it, there is no difference from what chrome already saves in PDF format.
Produces empty pdfs
Works really well as long as you turn on images in simple mode. Thanks rynu.smith. Now just enable this for multiple emails at once please.
How does it Download?

Clicked any of those 2 buttons, and nothing happen… except button are greyed out afterword.
