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
Front end not working
Can’t save options to show front end buttons.
