Pooch Pdf — Web Page To P
✨ AI-Powered View on Chrome Web StoreChrome will indicate if you already have this installed.
Overview
You hit Ctrl+P on a long article. You get sticky headers on every page, ads jammed between paragraphs, a cookie banner covering the first page, and half the images missing. Sound familiar?
Pooch PDF fetches the article, shakes off the junk, and delivers a clean PDF — like a good dog should.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
THREE WAYS TO SAVE
Quick PDF — Scrolls the page to load all lazy content, then opens the print dialog. The fast option.
Clean PDF — Extracts just the article using Mozilla Readability (the engine behind Firefox Reader View). Strips ads, sidebars, pop-ups, navigation, and clutter. Re-renders the content with clean typography, intelligent page breaks, and a table of contents. The result looks like it was designed for print.
Save to Drive — Everything Clean PDF does, plus: uploads to a "Pooch PDF" folder in your Google Drive with a smart filename, generates an AI-powered abstract, and creates a shareable link with a rich preview. One click, fully organized.

WHAT POOCH FIXES THAT CTRL+P DOESN'T
Sticky headers and footers repeated on every page — removed
Ads, pop-ups, and cookie banners in the article body — stripped
Sidebar widgets, related articles, comment sections — gone
Images that break across page boundaries — prevented
Lazy-loaded images that print as blank boxes — pre-loaded
JavaScript-rendered content that doesn't print — handled

FEATURES
Reader Mode PDF
Georgia serif typography, proper margins, intelligent page breaks. Headings never get orphaned at the bottom of a page. Images never split across pages. Code blocks stay together.
Table of Contents
Auto-generated from the article's headings. Appears on its own page for easy navigation.
AI Abstract
Uses Chrome's built-in Summarizer API (on-device, private, no network calls) to generate a concise abstract for every article. Falls back to the article's meta description if unavailable. The abstract is embedded as searchable PDF metadata — find any saved article later with Google Drive search.
Google Drive Integration
One-click upload. Files land in a dedicated "Pooch PDF" folder. Pro users get smart filename templates with dates, authors, and source sites — your Drive stays organized even at hundreds of saved articles.
Shareable Links (Pro)
After saving to Drive, get a short link (poochpdf.com/s/abc123) with Open Graph meta tags. Paste it into Slack, Teams, email, or any messaging app — your colleagues see the title, abstract, and thumbnail before they click.
Smart Filename Templates
Free: "Title" and "Title — Site". Pro: nine templates including date-prefixed, author-title, and automatic monthly subfolders. No more manual renaming.
Paper Size Options
A4, Letter, or Legal. Your choice is remembered.
Works Everywhere
Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc. Tested on news sites, blogs, Wikipedia, Substack, Medium, academic papers, and documentation sites.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
PRIVACY
All PDF generation happens locally in your browser. No page content ever leaves your machine.
Google Drive uses the drive.file scope — the narrowest available. We can only see files Pooch PDF created. We cannot access your other Drive files.
No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry.
The only network calls: Google Drive upload (when you choose it) and share link creation (Pro only — sends title and abstract, never article content).

HOW IT WORKS
Scrolls the page to trigger lazy-loaded images and infinite scroll content
Removes sticky/fixed elements that repeat on printed pages
Extracts the article with Mozilla Readability.js
Builds a clean HTML document with print-optimized CSS
For local save: opens in a new tab for review and printing
For Drive: generates a PDF blob with html2pdf.js and uploads via the Drive API
For sharing: captures a thumbnail, uploads it alongside the PDF, creates a short URL
