How to Disable Click to Delete

PrintFriendly has an amazing feature called "Click-to-Delete." While PrintFriendly automatically strips the unwanted portion of a webpage, you may want to delete more of the text that is being printed. To do so, you can just click on any paragraph or image and that will be deleted.

However, if you are a website owner and you do not want to allow your visitors to have that ability, you can disable click-to-delete feature pretty easily.

Note: This tutorial is for general website

If you're running WordPress, see how to disable Click-to-delete on WordPress.

First, Remove your existing button

If your site already has a PrintFriendly button, you need to remove that first. Simply delete the code you copied from PrintFriendly when placing the button. Then head over to PrintFriendly Button page.

After initial set ups (e.g. button style), make sure to choose "Not-allow" under "Click-to-delete" menu.

Now Copy the Code

Just like you installed PrintFriendly button earlier, copy the code and place it on your website wherever you want the PrintFriendly icon to appear. Your users will not be able to click to delete portion of the text while printing or generating a PDF.
