Not compatible with PHP 8.0 or higher and no support

Jos Klever January 11, 2023

This plugin has multiple issues with PHP 8.0 and higher causing the error logs to fill up with warnings, but these will become critical errors in higher versions. These errors are not difficult to fix (I’ve edited the files to keep it working until we move to a replacement), but there’s no response from support for a very long time now. UPDATE: When using the plugin to create a PDF from a post, it does give a critical error, that doesn’t even make it to the error log, so it makes the plugin useless already.

just don’t waste your time with this

It does what it is supposed to.

Nico Visagie October 16, 2021

This is not the best plugin of this type out there, but it does what is says it does. I have been using it for several months and it worked for me. The only reason I switched to another plugin is because this one is not compatible with PHP8 and that is a requirement as my ISP is upgrading.

Renders shortcodes from Divi pagebuilder

Martin Sauter January 6, 2021

While I like the many configuration options of this plugin, there is one major disadvantage that makes it useless for many websites: If the page contains shortcodes from a pagebuilder like Divi, these shortcodes will be visible in the resulting PDF, which is definitely not what you want.
