External Services
This plugin connects to the external service https://html2pdf.app in order to generate PDF files from HTML content.
When a PDF is generated, the plugin sends the following data to the html2pdf.app API: – The HTML of the current post or page (required to create the PDF) – PDF configuration options such as paper size, orientation, and margins
No personal data about users is transmitted.
Service Provider: html2pdf.app Terms: https://html2pdf.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://html2pdf.app/privacy
The service is required for PDF generation. The plugin will not function without an API key from the provider.
