I’ve tried nearly every PDF generator plugin out there, and most are either overly complicated, have cluttered UIs, bombard you with paid upgrade ads, or are just awful to set up and use—especially for something that should be straightforward with the abundance of PDF libraries available. This plugin is the one—clean, no- nonsense, developer-friendly (if you need to control the styling and output), and most importantly, backed by a super helpful developer. If only more developers created sensible, easy-to-use, and well-designed plugins like this one. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/03f0f56ae4b6baa029fc39c7bfa04422439442f4fd8d3788ff1e3b8ea7a87f96? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Just downgrade your php to 7.4 and it still works !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-downgrade-your-php-to-7-4-and-it-still-works/)󠁿 [Dave Meyer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/agencewebmeyer/) January 22, 2023 No longer maintained, not compatible with PHP 8 Like the title says, this plugin is no longer maintained and it is not compatible with PHP 8.
