The description claims to color short pdfs, and to color first few pages of longer pdfs. In reality in only colors the very first page, I've tried with pdfs as small as 4 page long as well as full books.

It worked fine for awhile. Then it got moved from google payments to its own site, and now it keeps telling me I'm using an unregistered version despite still costing money. I cannot find where or how to stop the payments. Do NOT recommend.

I can't figure out how to get the extention to work now that the payment system is updated. Nor can I figure out how to sign in to the account and cancel my payment. Am I going to be charged $5 forever now? There was no explaination and the page with the notice about the update would load and crash so that you can't read it. Very upset. I need this for school and don't have $5 to waste every month.

I installed the app for the latest Edge chromium, and checked it works perfect for several PDFs I found on some kind of web sites(PDFs mainly from Arxiv).
then tried other documents stored on my local folders, and found it doesn't colorize them at all.
I haven't tried it on original Google Chrome yet so I'm not sure if that problem is only reproduced with Edge, but that's not the way I expected it to behave because I was thinking about having my PDF library added color gradient and I don't usually use Google Chrome.

i am paying it almost for a year. It still has the same technical problems. When the pdf is opened, for first pages it functions properly but for the other pages the program clashes and it does not work.

i had contact with the developer months ago, and he is unable to fix the problem. That's unfortunate.

This is great, except the text prints at low resolution.

When the text is rendered on screen it is great and appears to be vector format. However once printed it seems the text is converted to a raster image. Additionally this raster is low enough resolution that after printing the text is noticeably blurry making it hard to read.

Additionally it would be nice if the preparing to print dialogue continues its process when the tab was not in focus, but Im assuming that is a chrome limitation?

The concept is great, but the implementation is buggy. Loading a pdf instantly causes a redirect to a 'beelined' version. This is fine, but it makes it impossible to 'back' out of a loaded PDF to whatever page you came from because you 'back' to the normal pdf which lickity split redirects to the beelined version.

Another issue is that there's no 'off' button, so if you wanna read something without beeline, you have to navigate to the extension page and disable it. It's super annoying. If this were a free app that'd be one thing, but for a charge, I expect basic bugs like this to be fixed.

I hope they improve the app some day. It really does help me read.

I downloaded this app because I read a lot of science articles for school on my laptop and it doesn't work. The title page and citation page of the PDF will be colored, but not the actual article.

Is there a way to turn the BeeLine Reader view off for individual PDFs? Sometimes I want to look at a PDF on the regular Chrome PDF viewer, but I can't figure out how to do that without disabling this extension (which in turn, seems to automatically close any PDFs already open in the BeeLine Reader view.)
