PDF Creator Lite Plugin

PDF Creator Lite makes on-the-fly PDF documents of selected parts of your site. It has 2 main uses:

Use it on pages and posts so your readers can download PDFs:

Basic Use:
Just put the [pdf-lite] shortcode into your page or post and visitors can simply click a button to get a PDF document of that page.

More Control:
Use the shortcode parameters to choose specific pages, categories, or the entire site. Here’s a few examples:

Makes a PDF of all posts:
[pdf-lite allposts=”true”]

Makes a PDF of all pages:
[pdf-lite allpages=”true”]

Makes a PDF of selected pages/posts (use post ids or slugs):
[pdf-lite page=”3, 28, my-post-slug”]

Makes a PDF of posts in the categories ‘music’ and ‘food’:
[pdf-lite cat=”music, food”]

Changes the download icon:
[pdf-lite icon=”3″]

See the full list of parameters on the settings page ( Dashboard->Tools->PDF Creator ).

Use it as an admin tool to create customised PDFs of selected or all site pages (not posts):

• Customise the colours and fonts
