Extry does not convert anything to PDF — your browser does, from the HTML copy it exports. That is the point: the text stays selectable, the links keep working, and nothing is uploaded to a converter.
Why through the browser
Text stops being searchable, links stop being links, and anything the library cannot shape — an emoji, an Arabic quote, a Korean name — comes out as a box.
The browser already has a typesetting engine that handles all of it, and it is the same engine that rendered the conversation in the first place.
What survives
Selectable text
Search inside the PDF, copy out of it, feed it to anything that reads documents.
Working links
Every reference in the conversation stays clickable on the page.
The table of contents
Forced open before printing, so it cannot come out empty, and starts its own page.
Your filters
Hide your own messages, or the answers, and print only what is left.
What the browser decides
Page breaks, margins, headers and page numbers belong to the print dialog. Extry sets what it can — a 14 mm page margin, no floating controls on paper, images and table rows kept whole — but the layout is the browser's.
Control over that is what a typeset PDF adds, and it is planned as a paid extra later. Printing stays free: every format Extry writes today stays free, without a daily cap and without an account.
How it works
conversation.html from the archive.No account, no upload step, no daily cap. Printing runs in your browser, so the conversation is not sent to a converter to become a PDF.

Questions
Is the PDF searchable?
Yes. The browser prints real text, so it stays selectable and searchable — it is not an image of the conversation.
Do the links work in the PDF?
Yes. They are printed as links, unlike the Word export, where the address is not attached.
Is there a limit on how many I can make?
No. Printing happens on your machine, so there is nothing to meter.
Can I print only part of a conversation?
Yes. Hide your own messages or the answers in the HTML copy first; the print follows what is left on screen.

Word suits a document someone will edit, Markdown suits notes and repos, and the ZIP export covers conversations with files in them. All six formats are on the main page.
