조민하 (ID: 00000095cea206f6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/24/2023 최고입니다 진짜! 너무나 딱 원하던 기능이에요. 비슷한 툴 중에, 원하는 요소를 없애기만 하는 게 아니라 아예 추출해내는 건지 폰트를 비롯한 UI가 아예 바뀌어버려 PDF로 따는 의미가 없어지는 툴도 있었는데요... 이 프로그램은 진짜 완벽하네요 ㅠㅠ 원래 페이지에서 영역을 클릭하는 즉시 해당 영역이 마법처럼 사라집니다. 일단 원하는 영역들을 없앤 후에, 크롬-인쇄-pdf로 저장 기능 활용하면 깔끔하게 저장할 수 있어요! 캡쳐부터 하고 요소를 없애는 게 아니라, 원하는 영역을 처음부터 없애버린다는 점이 신박하고 깔끔하고 너무 좋습니다. (처음에 제가 웹사이트 요소 진짜 없애버린 줄 알고 놀랐을 정도...)

michael schumacher (ID: 0000005efd6f8909) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/30/2021 May be a dumb question, but how do you deactivate it? I mean, when you click on the extension icon, it activates and then if I click anywhere on the page it removes that element. If I don't need that anymore or clicked on the extension by accident, how do I toggle it off?

GirGrunny (ID: 0000001bd97f9b67) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/03/2021 Perfect; can finally print the pages I want without text being cut off by overbearing headers. Thank you!
