How to convert from the right-click menu
The context menu carries two entries. Right-click anywhere on a page and choose "Convert this page to PDF" to convert what you're looking at using your default settings. Right-click a link and choose "Convert linked page to PDF" to convert a different page without navigating there at all.
Takes about 1 min
Steps
Right-click on the page
Anywhere in the page body.
Choose "Convert this page to PDF"
The extension uses your saved defaults — paper size, orientation, margins — and opens the preview tab when it's done.
Or right-click a link instead
Choose "Convert linked page to PDF" to convert the target page without leaving the page you're on.
Worth knowing
- The right-click route uses your default settings rather than prompting, so set those up the way you like them first.
- Converting a linked page fetches it in the background — useful for working through a list of articles without losing your place.
- Because it uses your browser session, a linked page behind a login converts the same way it would if you opened it yourself.
Questions
Does "Convert linked page to PDF" open the page first?
No — that's the point of it. The linked page is fetched and converted in the background, so you keep your place on the page you were reading.
