Ne fonctionne pas….

Too many ads, even trial doesn’t remove ads
by teoriweb·1 year ago·3 replies

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 printfriendly website with a lot of Ads spam from all directions.

Started trial to see if it removes the adds and adds new capabilities. It doesn’t, ads are still there and are very annoying. Not suitable for corporate websites, even pro version has ads.

There are options for print and pdf but they all go to the same page and you decide what to do once you arrive to that page. Didn’t like it.
