## Description
**PDF Generator for Posts & Pages** is the easiest way to let your visitors download
a beautifully formatted PDF of any WordPress post, page, or custom post type — with
zero coding required.
Whether you run a blog, a WooCommerce store, a job board, or a directory site, this
plugin adds a **Download PDF** button directly on your content pages. Visitors get
a clean, print-ready PDF in one click.

### Why Use PDF Generator for Posts & Pages?
Most PDF plugins force you to edit PHP templates or paste complex shortcodes. This
plugin gives you a **visual drag-and-drop layout builder** inside your WordPress
dashboard — simply choose a layout, toggle which content blocks to include, and
save. Your PDF updates instantly.
### Core Features
**Visual PDF Layout Builder**
Choose from four ready-made page layouts — Single
Column, Image Left, Image Right, and Image Top. Drag and reorder content blocks (
title, image, description, custom fields, read more link). Set per-block alignment.
See a live preview update as you make changes.
**Supports All Post Types**
Works with Posts, Pages, and any registered Custom
Post Type — including WooCommerce Products, job listings, property listings, portfolios,
and more. Enable or disable PDF export per post type from the admin settings.
**ACF Custom Field Support**
Automatically detects Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).
When ACF is active, the Post Meta Keys tab shows a searchable dropdown of all your
ACF field groups. Select the fields you want to include in the PDF — labels and
values are pulled automatically. Works with text, number, email, URL, select, checkbox,
and relationship fields.
**Custom Post Meta Keys**
No ACF? No problem. Manually add any WordPress post meta
key. The plugin fetches the value from the database and includes it in the PDF.
Search your existing meta keys server-side as you type — no page reload needed.
**Full Color and Typography Control**
Customize the PDF background color, body
text color, header and footer background and text colors, download button colors,
title font size, content font size, and image size — all from the Styling tab.
**Header and Footer Text**
Add custom header and footer text to every generated
PDF page. Great for branding, copyright notices, or contact details.
**Flexible Button Placement**
Place the PDF download button before the content,
after the content, or use the shortcode for a completely custom location.
**Shortcode Support**
Use `[gmptp_single_post]` to place the PDF button anywhere
in your templates, or `[gmptp_single_post id="123"]` to generate a PDF button for
a specific post from any page.
**Translation Ready**
All front-end strings — button label, loading messages, read
more text — are fully translatable from the Translation tab in the admin. Compatible
with WPML and Polylang.
**Lightweight PDF Generation**
PDFs are generated directly in the visitor’s browser
using React PDF renderer — no server-side processing, no temporary files stored
on your server, no load on your hosting.

3. Navigate to **Post to PDF** in the left admin menu.
4. On the **Single Post** tab, enable the post types you want to show the PDF button
on.
5. Use the **PDF Layout** tab to choose your layout and configure content blocks.
6. Use the **Styling** tab to match the PDF colors to your brand.

## FAQ
### Does this plugin work with WooCommerce?
Yes. Enable the **Products** post type from the Single Post tab. The PDF will include
the product title, featured image, short description, long description, and any
custom meta fields you configure — including WooCommerce product attributes added
as post meta.
### Does this plugin support Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)?
Yes. When ACF is active, the Post Meta Keys tab shows a searchable dropdown of all
your ACF field groups and fields. Select any field to include its label and value
in the PDF. Both standard ACF field types and custom meta keys are supported.
### Where does the PDF download button appear?
By default the button appears before the post content. You can change this to after
the content, or choose **Custom Location** and place the `[gmptp_single_post]` shortcode
exactly where you want it in your template.
### Can I change the text on the download button?
Yes. Go to the **Translation** tab in the plugin settings and update the button
label, loading message, and other front-end strings.
### Is the PDF generated on the server or in the browser?
PDFs are generated entirely in the visitor’s browser using a JavaScript PDF renderer.
This means zero server load, no temporary files, and instant downloads — even on
shared hosting.
### Can I include custom post meta fields in the PDF?
Yes. Go to the **Post Meta Keys** tab, click **Add Field**, and either search your
ACF fields from the dropdown or type any WordPress meta key manually. All added
fields will be included in the PDF when the **Custom Fields** block is enabled in
the Layout Builder.
### What layouts are available for the PDF?
Four layouts are included: **Single Column** (all content stacked vertically), **
Image Left** (image on left, content on right), **Image Right** (content on left,
image on right), and **Image Top** (full-width image above all content).
### Can I put the PDF button in a custom location using a shortcode?
Yes. Set Display Location to **Custom Location (shortcode)** in the Single Post
settings, then place `[gmptp_single_post]` anywhere in your theme or page builder.
To generate a PDF button for a specific post from another page, use `[gmptp_single_post
id="post_id"]`.
### Does it work with Gutenberg and page builders?
Yes. The shortcode works in Gutenberg’s shortcode block, as well as Elementor, Divi,
Beaver Builder, WPBakery, and any builder that supports WordPress shortcodes.
### Is the plugin translation ready?
Yes. All user-facing strings are translatable. The plugin is compatible with WPML,
Polylang, and standard `.pot` file-based translations. You can also translate all
strings directly from the Translation tab in the admin settings without needing
any translation plugin.
### What PHP version is required?
PHP 7.4 or higher is required. PHP 8.0+ is fully supported.
