Really Awesome Plugin

  • Awesome plugin to simply do exactly what it says it does.

    In our case we used to make manual PDFs of every post, for various reasons. When we stopped doing that in May 2016, we had a few people whine about it, even though they could have used various browser plugins, etc., to ‘burn’ their own PDF.

    Sadly, some folks can barely open their front door, let alone burn a PDF, and yet they demanded one to download … so this proved a perfect solution. Folks who must have a PDF and clueless on making one on their own can get one, and not bug us about it.

    Highly recommended. Using free version. ??

    ALSO: note for those who complained about SEO and this plugin.

    Couple things for newbies
    a) PDFs don’t use the same meta data as HTML documents, and most search engines are well aware of this.
    b) if your main pages have proper canonical links, they will be treated as the “actual” page and not the PDF, just like an /amp/ endpoint, or ‘print’ template.
    c) anybody who actually knows anything about SEO, understands that you would
    – 1 – not include the PDFs in your sitemap submitted to search engines
    – 2 – create links to PDF on your pages (we use a FontAwesome icon here), with a rel=’nofollow’ tag on it as further notice not to follow the link.
    d) anybody who needs PDFs for a business purpose from their page/posts, should spend the money to support the plugin to get ‘business class’ options.
