    Hi espermedia,
    As far as I see you’re talking about structural shortcodes, something like, box-makers, table-makers, tabbed-content-makers and other features of visual designing and layouting the post content. I’m really sorry but those shortcodes have no chances to be parsed and added in PDF document. PDF doesn’t support HTML and it’s not possible to create such an content predicting all HTML tags with styles in PDF content. PDF is like a picture or a image, it’s not so flexible and changeable like HTML document, so those structural items can not be supported in PDF.
    UPM only supports shortcodes which adds/changes some content data (text, image) in post body. Nothing else.

    Ahhh – that is too bad. Is there not a way to parse out shortcodes then? We use shortcodes for styling titles within content, for example. Having the shortcode wrapper around the title makes the title virtually unreadable. Stripping it out (un-parsed) would at least make the content usable.

    Not trying to promote competitors, but have been evaluating similar services and many have this same limitation. Print Friendly is the only one I have found that properly parses or removes shortcodes. I am not fond of their ad placement strategy to monetize their product, but it works. Perhaps you could review their code and determine if your codebase could be improved using similar methods? I love the direction you are going with this plugin and would pay for the features if it handled shortcodes in a more elegant fashion.
