Score Breakdown
- header/nav clutterThe Medium site header with 'Open in app', 'Sign up', 'Sign in', search bar, and publication follow button occupies a notable portion of the top of the page, adding clutter before the article content begins.
- promotional block near contentA book promotion block ('Are you preparing for a job interview as a Java developer?') appears early in the article flow, which may distract from the main article content but does not obstruct text.
- layout alignmentThe page is a multi-page document (1/11) and the content cuts off mid-article at the bottom, which is expected but results in an incomplete view of the article on this page.

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.
