WP Advanced PDF

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This plugin has multiple issues with PHP 8.0 and higher causing the error logs to fill up with warnings, but these will become critical errors in higher versions. These errors are not difficult to fix (I’ve edited the files to keep it working until we move to a replacement), but there’s no response from support for a very long time now. UPDATE: When using the plugin to create a PDF from a post, it does give a critical error, that doesn’t even make it to the error log, so it makes the plugin useless already. This topic was modified 3 years, 6 months ago by Jos Klever. Reason: additional error found that's blocking the usage

   This is not the best plugin of this type out there, but it does what is says it does. I have been using it for several months and it worked for me. The only reason I switched to another plugin is because this one is not compatible with PHP8 and that is a requirement as my ISP is upgrading.

   While I like the many configuration options of this plugin, there is one major disadvantage that makes it useless for many websites: If the page contains shortcodes from a pagebuilder like Divi, these shortcodes will be visible in the resulting PDF, which is definitely not what you want.

   On posts, the pdf icon appears, but, it doesnt actually generate a pdf. And on all other selected content, the icon doesnt show up at all.
