Project Description

This project is a Chrome extension that allows users to convert webpages into PDF format. The user simply clicks on the extension icon while on the webpage they want to convert, and the extension handles the rest.

During the development of this project, several libraries and tools were evaluated for the PDF conversion process, including html2pdf, jspdf, and percollate. However, none of these tools perfectly met the project's requirements.

In the end, the ConvertAPI was used for the PDF conversion process. While this solution is relatively basic, it meets the project's current needs and provides a solid foundation for future improvements.
