Biggest opportunity: “pdf plugin”, “pdf wordpress plugin” and “wordpress pdf generator” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 900 of 46.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,766 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| pdf converter your tag | #17 | #15 | down 3 |
| pdf plugin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| pdf wordpress plugin your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| wordpress pdf generator your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 1 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Français suivant Very good extention, however I can’t use it in Canada because it uses paper sizes not compatible with letter, legal and tabloid size. Some of our visitors, not familiar with computers, had printing problems. Tres bonne extension, par contre je ne peux pas l’utilisé au Canada parce qu’il utilise les formats de papier non compatible avec le format lettre, légal et tabloïd. Certain de nos visiteurs, non familier avec l’informatique, avait des problèmes d’impression.

Removed my .home class and replaced it with .wpexperts-page which screwed everything up. Far from WP Experts… Uninstalled.

Nice plugin, works as expected. Developer is also very prompt in attending reviews. I recommended a feature which was implemented in a day. Five star no doubt. This topic was modified 5 years, 9 months ago by Manas Mitra.

This plugin does use an external api which was great for what I wanted as it means I can customise the plugin to add features more suited to my project. Thanks!
