Pooch PDF — Web Page to PDF & Drive

Convert web pages into clean PDFs. Save to Google Drive with one click. Share with a link.

Convert web pages into clean PDFs. Save to Google Drive with one click. Share with a link. 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 saves the entire page as a PDF. What you see is what you get — fast and faithful. 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. Opens in a new tab for review before saving. The result looks like it was designed for print. Save to Drive — Choose Quick or Clean mode. Generates a PDF, uploads it 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 your own browser's summariser 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 Single Page (one continuous PDF with no page breaks — the default), A4, Letter, or Legal. Your choice is remembered. - Works Everywhere Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc.

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).
