Score Breakdown
- text cropped on left marginThe main article body text is cut off on the left side, with the first letters of each line missing (e.g., 'resident' instead of 'President', 'ct subsidies' instead of 'Act subsidies'). This makes the paragraph difficult to read.
- author byline partially cut offThe byline starting with 'y Dan Diamond' is missing the leading 'B', indicating the left margin is clipping content.
- overlapping date textThe 'Updated' date line shows overlapping or doubled text ('Yesterdayra8, 3, 2025 at 3:55 p.m. EST'), making it unreadable and visually cluttered.
- large blank spaceThere is a significant blank gray area at the bottom of the page below the 'What readers are saying' section, wasting printable space and suggesting a rendering issue.
- layout alignment issueThe overall left-side clipping of the article text creates a ragged, misaligned appearance that reduces readability throughout the main content area.

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.

- 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.
