    Great tool. Thanks. I have an HTML page created by WP-Print from a post. It has the url, /my-post/print. This /my-post/print HTML is not a post or page, and WordPress PDF Templates will not convert it to a pdf. Is there some way to make the my-post/print html available to PDF Templates. Does the conversion fail because the my-post/print html is neither post nor page? I don’t see how I can create a custom post type for that url.
    I’m tying to avoid having to style the /print and /pdf separately so they will look identical. I think if it was possible to just convert the my-post/print to a my-post/print/pdf the results would be similar enough to pass. But knowing if that’s possible and how it might be done appears out of my league.
    Anything info would be welcome. Either way, thanks. PDF Templates is the best thing I’ve tried.

    Hi and thanks for using our plugin!

    I’ve looked into your case and came up with a solution which also lead me to release version 1.1 of WP PDF Templates with stability improvements for situations like this.

    My suggested solution is to update the plugin and then add a custom PDF template into your theme (e.g. index-pdf.php) that just echoes the HTML from the /print endpoint generated by the WP-Print plugin.

    Here’s an example of the template file:

    <?php
/**
 *  Filename: index-pdf.php
 */ 

// load my-post/print document into a variable
$html = file_get_contents( get_the_permalink() . 'print' ); 

// echo the loaded html
echo $html;

    Now you can simply go to /my-post/pdf or /my-post/pdf-preview to view the result.

    Please remember to update WP PDF Templates to the newest version before applying this solution.

    Let me know if there’s anything more I can help you with!

    All the best,

    Thank you Antti! That worked very nicely.

    WP PDF Templates can now convert any HTML on your site that you can link to. It makes it nicely compatible with WP-Print and about anything else as well. I don’t know of any other plugin that can do that without advertisement.

    Thanks for the great product.

    best,
    george
