PDFDraft – Drag & Drop PDF Builder, PDF Viewer, Embed & Download PDF, Certificate & Invoice Designer
Every other WordPress PDF plugin makes you compromise — fixed templates, rigid layouts, output that never quite looks right. PDFDraft gives you a free-form canvas where you place anything, anywhere, and the result looks exactly the way you designed it.
Drop in a smart tag and it stops being a static document entirely. Your PDF auto-fills with real WordPress data — names, emails, post titles, site details — personalized for every single person, automatically.
