  • Excellent plugin. I wish it a long life.

    Simple does the job very well. Shortcodes are available if you want to place them on a specific page.Suggestion: a reminder of the shortcodes in the admin panel. The ability to target a specific tag within the page.

  • Great Plugin for PDF's of posts or pages!

    This is a great plugin to add a download as a PDF for your WordPress posts and pages. Simple to install and setup. Plugin creator is responsive to support questions. One suggestion I have is to if there is a link in a post it retains the link in the PDF. Or make it an option.
