I recieved a mail from my HR, marked to all, requesting to use papers responsibly and using the print command carefully. I work for a PR agency. And they need to track all the media, traditional and electronic. Traditional media is carefully cut from newspapers and stored but online stories has to be printed for Dossiers.
Sometimes, when the prints are given, the prints contain all the ads, other links, other stories, as well as the logos of the website, colourful Backgrounds etc. Even if we select and print the text, it some times takes unnecessary spaces in the text and prints bundles and bundles of pages, with just 2-3 lines per page!!
So, i tried to find a solution for the same and came across Http://www.printwhatyoulike.com
As the name suggests, PrintWhatYouLike is a free web page editor that gives you control of how web pages look when printed.
Once you enter the URL of the page you wish to print, it opens the page in a window, where you can select and delete the unwanted ads, text, images, scrolls, animations etc. Just keep what you want to print.
Some of the features are:
- Remove all the images with a single click.
- Remove the Background.
- The Fonts can be changed, Even the text size can be adjusted.
- Narrow/widen the selcected area.
- Combine mutiple pages together.
Limitations:
- Only Public pages can be printed A Firefox plugin/bookmarklet to let you edit private/password protected pages is in the works.
Conclusion: A simple and free tool for saving pages,money and trees.The logo of the website reflects it appropriately.Very useful for people who have a lot of pages to print.
