Powerful and flexible – but not free
This plugin is an excellent choice when it comes to rendering webpage content into a PDF document. It is feature-rich and highly configurable. The PDF document is not generated on your webserver but on a third-party server operated by PDFCrowd, which eliminates many potential problems. Without a paid subscription, all generated PDF documents contain a demo watermark and a PDFCrowd branding. While I absolutely understand that developing a plugin and a service on that level needs funding, I am not sure if a plugin that is useless without a subscription should be listed in this repository.

free version is USELESS
There's no point in fooling people with a free version that requires an API key to activate, which only lasts 30 days and consumes credits; after that, you have to pull out your credit card…

Great Plugin and Knowledgeable Support
This plugin accomplished just what we needed for a large clients website. When we ran into an emergency issue, support was quick to respond and did help to provide the solution. This support was a lifesaver to prevent damaging the client relationship \o/

Top plugin, even better support
I'm using this plugin to create print-ready point of sale graphics via a CPT. It was very easy to set-up and the results, even after minimal tweaks, are just excellent.I had a couple of queries regarding functionality and Pavel got back to me within minutes, and, more importantly, not only answered my questions but also pointed me in the direction of a better solution to what I needed to do.I've not even got into using it on the live site yet, but based on my testing I'm very confident it will work beautifully.
