Normally, the PDF24 plugin only uses the contents of the articles as content for the PDF file. Custom fields are extra information, that is normally not part of the content itself but can be used in templates to present extra information. To tell the PDF24 plugin what content shall be part of the PDF file, you have mark up the content area within Wordpress theme files with special PDF24 plugin methods. To mark up the content, do this: ... Your custom fields code here... The above code tells PDF24 that the content is the articles content itself and the rest of the content between the two methods. You can place or output any other custom fields or information between the pdf24Plugin_begin and pdf24Plugin_end method. All that content between the two method is added to the PDF file. All PDF24 plugin PDF bars, links and boxes automatically uses this information to create the PDF file. Special care must be taken when you use the article bars which are automatically added to the content of each article. If you use the above markup code then the article bars will be removed from the content and you have to insert some extra code where the article bar shall appear. This extra code is: A sample code section of my test loop.php template file looks like this: This new code tells the PDF24 plugin what content is to add to the PDF file. This is the outputs of the codes which are placed inside the pdf24Plugin_begin and pdf24Plugin_end methods. The next line, the call to the method pdf24Plugin_post, outputs the article PDF bar which the user have to use to generate the PDF file. If you don't call the pdf24Plugin_post method then the article bar will not be shown. You can omit this call when you use the PDF top/bottom bar, the PDF sidebar, the PDF widget or a PDF link. The above call to pdf24Plugin_post() can be replaced with pdf24Plugin_link() or pdf24Plugin_topBottom() or pdf24Plugin_sidebar(). Each of these methods shows a different box depending on what you want. Replacing pdf24Plugin_post() with pdf24Plugin_link() will output a Download as PDF link instead of the bigger article bar. The above code could also look like the following one: ... Your custom fields code here... OR You can place the pdf24Plugin_link() call wherever you want, except before the pdf24Plugin_end() call. The call to pdf24Plugin_form(get_the_ID()) must also be placed after the pdf24Plugin_end() call. This call only generates a hidden form which needs a link to be sent. This link can be created with the function pdf24Plugin_formSubmit(get_the_ID()). The call to this function can be placed everywhere in a template (after a call to pdf24Plugin_end() or before the call or in an other template) because the created link references the created hidden form created by pdf24Plugin_form(get_the_ID());. This feature makes PDF24 a very powerful PDF generator. You can generate the PDF file of nearly every content in you blog.
