As we understand you are using “WPBakery Page Builder”. If yes, we currently released support to generate PDF Link under Image Object in RC Version 1.15.04. You can apply update now by turning on updates from “e2pdf.com”. Option can be enabled at “E2Pdf” -> “Settings” -> “Release Candidate Builds” (https://prnt.sc/132yaax). After enabling this option you must be able to check for updates at “Dashboard” -> “Updates” and update plugin as usual to version 1.15.14.
It’s recommended to turn off this option after update
After update you must be able to use shortcode inside “Image link”:
[e2pdf-download id='1' output='url']
* where 1 is the ID of your E2Pdf Template. Keep attention please on the “quotes”, it must be used “single” quote.
If it will not work, let us know please which version of “WPBakery Page Builder” or “Visual Composer” you are using and which shortcode generated if you switch to “Classic Mode”. Thank you.
We remain at your service.
