Score Breakdown

  • Navigation menu overlay obscuring contentAn open navigation/sidebar menu is overlapping the left portion of the main article content, cutting off the beginning of multiple lines of text including the article title, introductory paragraphs, and highlighted summary box.
  • Text truncation throughout articleDue to the navigation menu overlay, nearly every line of the main article body is missing its left portion, making the content partially unreadable across a significant area of the page.
  • Header/nav clutter on page 1The open navigation menu with items like 'The Pattern Shop', 'Free Patterns', 'Blog', etc. takes up a large portion of the left side of the page, materially distracting from and obscuring the article content.

FAQs

What does the PDFability score for this site mean?
The PDFability score shows how well this website converts into a clean, readable PDF. A higher score means the page produces a clearer layout with fewer distractions when converted using PrintFriendly compared to the default browser print version.
How is this PDFability score calculated?
The score is based on a visual evaluation of the page after conversion. We compare the website's default print output with the optimized version generated by PrintFriendly and measure factors such as layout clarity, visual clutter, readability, and overall PDF quality.
What is being compared to generate this score?
We compare two versions of the same page: the default browser print output and the version generated by the PrintFriendly tool. This comparison helps determine how much the layout, readability, and overall PDF quality improve.
Why does PrintFriendly sometimes create more pages than the native print version?
In some cases PrintFriendly increases the page count in order to improve readability. For example, it may expand images, restore hidden content, or improve spacing and formatting. Even when the page count increases, the resulting PDF can still be cleaner and easier to read.
Can I generate a clean PDF of this website?
Yes. PrintFriendly allows you to convert almost any web page into a clean, ad-free PDF that is easier to read, share, or print. You can use the PrintFriendly extension or online tool to create a PDF of this page.
