Reviews

Contrary to older reviews, the developer has updated the plugin to support PHP8. 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.

No longer maintained, not compatible with PHP 8
Like the title says, this plugin is no longer maintained and it is not compatible with PHP 8.
This is the error it outputs using PHP 8.0:
Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/dk-pdf/vendor/mpdf/mpdf/src/Mpdf.php on line 2209
Please, pretty please, somebody fix this !!!

Update
Hello
Please update your plugin.
Your plugin is the best, but your plugin does not support Persian and Arabic.
After receiving the PDF file, a mark from the sites whose articles are in Persian ??????? Is displayed instead of letters in the received PDF.
thanks a lot

This plugin is the best, this plugin is the most excellent
Customizable, beautiful, fast, free
I wish others knew the value of this plugin
If you have problems with the new version of WordPress, run it in the lower versions and use a button or download management plugins to place the download button
