Customization
The plugin offers various customization options accessible through the WordPress admin panel. You can change the PDF generation settings and button appearance. For more detailed customization, please refer to the plugin option reference.
Licensing
By default, the plugin operates in demo mode, which, while fully functional, adds a watermark and PDFCrowd branding to the content.
To remove the demo watermark and PDFCrowd branding, you can purchase an PDFCrowd license. Activate the license by entering your PDFCrowd username and key in the plugin settings under the License tab.
A PDFCrowd license is versatile, allowing use across multiple WordPress websites for our plugins. Additionally, the license grants direct access to the PDFCrowd API for a broader range of applications.
Basic Troubleshooting
If the default plugin output does not meet your requirements, consider adjusting the following settings individually. You may need to activate the “Expert Settings” option to access some of these features.
- Mode > Conversion Mode: Try switching it to either “Upload” or “Content”.
- Print Resolution > Content Viewport Width: Experiment with different widths to see which yields the best result.
- Print Resolution > Content Fit Mode: Different scaling modes can significantly alter the PDF’s page layout.
- Print Resolution > Content Viewport Height: Increase this value, for example, to 50000, to see if it improves the output.
