This plugin let your visitors download an article as PDF file: images, formats and tables included. You can specifiy a PDF template file as well.
== Description ==
Article2pdf will convert any post or page to a pdf file and send it on demand to the browser. The images in the post or page will be included and you can configurate the pdf options via the plugin configuration page. You can also setup a pdf file, that is used as layout template for the generated pdf file. Links and formatings are included as well. Templates and options can be managed from the admin panel. Generated PDF files can be cached to reduce server load.
== Installation ==
Just install the plugin and activate it. Then add the link html code <a href="?article2pdf=1">PDF Version</a> to your theme. I put the html code into the "single.php" and the "page.php" of my theme and it works fine for me. A demo can be found at http://www.das-motorrad-blog.de/meine-wordpress-plugins/ - feel free to test the plugin by selecting a post or a page and then click "PDF" in the upper right corner.
