  - https://drive.google.com/file/d/*/view*
  - https://drive.google.com/file/d/*/edit*
  
  Once a document preview is open, click on this extension's icon to export the document in PNG, Zipped PNG, or PDF format.
  
  Even view only documents that are restricted from downloading or printing can be exported with this extension.
  
  Key Features:
  * PNG image exportation. (If download is blocked by Chrome, let it allow multiple file downloads)
  * ZIP file exportation. (This encompasses PNG Images)
  * PDF exportation. (This involves PNG Images, with no text information included)
  * Ability to specify a filename
  * Ability to designate a PDF page size (A4, A3, and more) / Orientation (Portrait, Landscape)
  
  Usage Notice:

  Release Notes:
  2026-05-09 v1.4.1:  
  Minor improvements and dependency updates.
  
  2025-11-19 v1.4.0:  
  Added support for new Google Drive preview layout.
  
  2025-07-26 v1.3.0:  
  Added support for canvas-based document previews. We discovered that Google Drive renders some document previews using a canvas-based system instead of image elements. This update ensures the extension works correctly with both rendering methods.

  Support for original size PDF output has been added. By selecting "Original Size" in the PDF Settings, a PDF will be created using the size of the currently displayed image. If the resolution appears rough, please adjust by appropriately zooming in on Google Drive.
