Save2Page

Let your users download your articles, news, and texts as PDF

Save2Page adds buttons to quickly save the current page as PDF and to show a print-friendly version.

Note that the module does not handle complex content well (complex layout, scripts, HTML5, etc.). It is meant for saving content (articles, news, promotions, services, products), not everything.

This feature is common on sites with other CMS, and now on MODX Revolution! Users can quickly download articles, product descriptions with images, news, and more from your site.

Recommended for the whole site or specific pages. Especially useful for sites with lots of text, tables, and images.
