I was unable to get this plugin to work. The documentation is not clear. I could never generate a PDF or mail it to anyone.

Thanks to the posts in the support section I finally got it working. In any case some coding skills are required. But then the plugin is really useful. If using a child theme the folder with the pdf template file needs to be placed in the parent theme folder. This was a very helpful hint. A basic code in the pdf.php file could be <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); the_title(); the_content(); endwhile; ?>

Simple plugin but very effective. Very useful to generate product sheet (included images) in Woocommerce and download or send by mail.
