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

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 73% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Looks like the plugin isn’t under active development for the time being, but I just wanted to express my gratitude for the fact that it exists in its current form. I was just about to program something from scratch when I came upon this. I love the simplicity of this plugin. No unnecessary API calls. No convoluted programming. Just pure and simple HTML > PDF. Easy to build upon and extend. 10/10 would mpdf again! This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by teelanovela. This topic was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by teelanovela.

   This plugin is amazing. It’s lightweight and powerful at the same time. The PDFs can be customized within the templates to any needs. After a long search for a PDF generator i finally found this. Thank you so much for the great work. It’s perfect.

   Independent of any platform : works perfectly with wordpress 5.3.2! It is extremely useful for a wordpress scientific publication website CSS customization is a bit difficult but the results superb (with footnotes, references, custom post type…)

   Great plugin, it just *works*! After some trial and error I made it also to use my own template by pulling data from a BuddyPress user and display it as a contact info sheet. Thanks!

   I wanted to provide a way for my visitors to download posts as PDFs and began to google for solutions. First of all it seems, that “post to PDF” can be understood in a couple of ways. I wanted to have it a simple way: on a post page a button, that opens a new window with the PDF to be saved or shared. I found a couple of plugins, that didn’t work in my environment, server error 500. I found some with annual fees. Well, I don’t mind paying for services per se, but this is a gratis site, and so far donations aren’t flowing in. Then I found one with an output, that ,eh, leaves a lot to desire, until I found this. To tell the truth it took me a while to figure out how to get the button on a post. And I like to my some minor formatting on the PDF, but overall effect is wow! Nice PDF, as if I had myself manually done 🙂
