What Document Engine does

Your site does not change: the shortcodes only shape the PDF document.

Download as PDF

A PDF button on any post type, placed automatically or with the [document_engine_pdf_button] shortcode.

Header, footer and page

Configure the PDF header, footer and main page, and add custom CSS for the document only.

Hide content from the PDF

Wrap anything in [document_engine_pdf_remove] to keep it on the page but out of the PDF.

Page breaks and columns

Page breaks, columns and column breaks for print-quality layouts.

PDF Viewer block

Show any PDF document on your site with the PDF Viewer (embedder) block.

Easy setup

Install, choose the post types, done. No external service and no API key.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Which content can be downloaded as PDF?

Any post type: posts, pages, products, courses or your own custom post types.

Will the shortcodes change how my page looks?

No. They only affect the PDF: hide content from it, add page breaks or columns. The web page stays as it is.

Do I need the free plugin for Pro?

Yes. Document Engine Pro adds watermarks to the free plugin, so both are installed.

Is there a refund?

Yes, 14 days, no questions asked, under the MantraBrain refund policy.
