by halic, 10 months agoThis is an outstanding addon that makes an excellent quality PDF from any webpage of your choice. The beauty is that it makes a pretty much perfect copy of the website, and saves it to your desktop as an html file. That file can then be turned into high quality Pdf by opening it in a browser, and using the browsers ‘Print function/menu’ to save it locally, as a Pdf. So, brilliant right? Well yes, but there is a problem. Previous to a week ago, all SingleFile Pdf’s were saved using OCR. In other words, the Pdf created was an editable [copy and paste from the Pdf] document. Of late, I have noticed that this is no longer the case. All my latest saved Pdf’s using the SingleFile addon are now saved as image-Pdf's 😒 instead of 'true' editable Pdf's. Can this be fixed? Otherwise ❤ your Addon, thank you. *UPDATE* - After 're-jigging' my firefox installation + a reboot or two, the issue is resolved [as the dev suggested it would be]. So I am all chuffed again now, and have re-rated this great addon with 5 stars 😊 Thank you for your prompt response👍

posted 10 months agoThank you for the review! The behavior/bug you describe is not related to SingleFile but rather to Firefox. The only thing that could be causing this problem from my point of view would be related to the settings in the “File format” section of the options page in SingleFile. You have to make sure the file format is “HTML”. You can also reset the settings to see if it fixes the issue.
UPDATE - I'm glad to hear the issue is resolved! 😊

- Rated 5 out of 5by addonexplorer, 15 days agoExcellent archival tool! These days you cannot trust that any page will be available or drastically modified in the future.
SingleFile grabs everything or just parts, incredibly usefu and I use this along with Obsidian webclipper + Obsidian. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18977738, 15 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18702861, a month agoI rarely give reviews but this one I must. It worked out of box. Can do things even FireShot can't such as saving the page or portion of it in a single html file! Very useful for saving a website or web page on Internet Archive.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Chiral, a month agoОчень полезное расширение и отзывчивый разработчик. А то стандартный инструментарий сохранения страниц уже давно нормально не работает с современным вебом и блокировщиками рекламы. Особенно полезное приложение в условиях, когда всякие уважаемые органы то и дело стремятся модерировать интернет, защищая граждан от информации, например, по починке устаревших серверов (не пытайтесь понять эту серию эвфемизмов на иностранном языке, это бессмысленно :) )
