Just wanted to thank the team again, just as I was being amazed by the incredibly useful ‘Preview’ button in the web clipper I realised I had not noticed when it appeared. And then a new update dropped!
The ‘Preview’ function is ridiculously useful and will save me lots of grief with content less keen to be captured in future. Thanks for this!
I was also really glad this was added, but I might be doing something wrong.
In my case, it shows previews that look completely different than any clippings.
It seems to strip JavaScript and other plugins and not actually show how the clip will look afterwards. For instance, I still get the cookie notice popups in clipped content, even if the Preview shows a cleaner version. So I don’t understand to point of the preview because it is always different than the final clipping. Maybe I need to change a setting somewhere?
However, the preview displays images when scrolling down, but the end-result excludes any images. Therefore, in this area it’s the opposite to the above rule, i.e., the preview is closer to the original (includes images) and the end-result is further away (no images).
This is not a bug. The preview is a best estimate of how the final pdf will look, however paginated pdfs are not created on the fly so it uses a clutter free rendering.
Given that the preview for PDFs is drastically different to the end result (looks like browsing websites without JavaScript or CSS styles), I would love if this could be improved in the future.
