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

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

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.
