Hi,
Do you have a recommendation for a plugin which can create a PDF of blog posts using avia layout architekt?
I tryed some plugins but it doesn´t work (without using pro version).Thank you,
Melanie
Hey melanie_erfrischt,
Thank you for the link to your site, unfortunately, many PDF plugins have trouble with our Advanced Layout Builder elements because they try to create a print from the page source and don’t render the page first. I tested the PDF & Print by BestWebSoft plugin and found it works well with Classic Editor posts, but for it to work with Advanced Layout Builder posts you can check the option Full Page Capture to PDF
this option takes a screenshot of the entire page and generates a PDF file from it, so the header and some other elements might show in the PDF but it allows the free version to work for you. Please see the demo links below.
This was the only plugin I tried, so you could try more plugins and see if they have a similar option, it would be best if a plugin allowed you to exclude classes from the print, then you could remover the header and other elements you don’t want.Best regards,
MikeHi,
Thanks for your screenshot, in my first test on my desktop (1536px) the images seemed ok, but when I simulated a laptop (1024px) the images were incorrect, like your screenshot, so it seems the results will depend on the user’s device.
Perhaps a different plugin will give a better result, or since your posts are recipes that your readers will want to save for a long time, maybe you can manually create a different print layout in a Word document and save as a PDF and link on your page, for example on allrecipes.com the web layout and the print layout are quite different, I know this would be a little more work but it might turn out to be an advantage in the long run.
Best regards,
Mike
