Nitro PDF Software, the company that revolutionized the PDF space with its launch of the first true alternative to Adobe® Acrobat® today announced yet another enhancement to PDF Download, the world's most popular PDF creation and conversion extension for web browsers. Hot on the heels of the release of PDF Download for Internet Explorer®, the all-new PDF Download bookmarklet (or toolbar button) extends free web-to-PDF capabilities to other popular web browsers - most notably, Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera. Now, any Internet user can convert web pages to PDF for free by clicking on a convenient 'Save Page as PDF' button on their browser toolbar.
The release of the new bookmarklet means that Chrome, Safari and Opera users can join the worldwide, rapidly-growing community of PDF Download users. The immensely popular tool has had more than 12 million downloads of its Firefox and IE versions to date.
"We're thrilled with this latest release for PDF Download as it reinforces our commitment to providing a free web-to-PDF feature for all Internet users, irrespective of their web browser", stated Nitro CEO, Sam Chandler. "While the recent launch of PDF Download for IE has already proven to be extremely popular, we expect to see a similar boost in new user numbers with the bookmarklet release, and we look forward to expanding the feature set for Chrome, Safari and Opera users in months to come."
