Ne fonctionne pas….

Ne fonctionne pas sans abonnement !

Too many ads, even trial doesn’t remove ads

Easy to implement, has nice CSS options for styling but the final page is messed up. I just wanted the image printed or pdfed, but it adds menu items to the print page. Also redirects you to printfrie
