Search plugin for PDF generation and download via QR code
-
I am looking for a way to offer WordPress blog posts individually as PDF downloads for later use without a data connection. The PDF should be able to be downloaded to the mobile phone via QR code. The blog primarily uses custom fields from the well-known plugin ACF (Advanced Custom Fields PRO) for the posts.
A plugin that covers these requirements does not seem to exist yet. Therefore, I came up with the solution to have the PDF creation and the generation of the QR code carried out by two separate plugins.
My search for plug-ins for PDF generation has so far only brought me to solutions that let the visitor generate the blog post first via a button (as with a printout). Unfortunately, these plugins disregard the user-defined fields and the PDF is therefore empty. Unfortunately, plug-ins that create a dynamic QR code also do not work in conjunction with the shortcodes of the PDF generators. At least that is the case with the ones I have found so far.
Therefore, it would probably be best to generate the PDF from the backend beforehand and make it available for download. Unfortunately, I haven’t found anything suitable for this yet.
Does anyone have an idea how I can find a solution or does anyone know of a plugin that fulfils the requirements described in the first paragraph?

If I am understanding correcting you want to print your WordPress blogs to PDF, You also want to regenerate a dynamic/Automatic QR code that users can scan and download the PDF of the post.
If yes then this plugin might help you https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/pdf-print/
This will create the PDF of your blog. This plugin also offers a PDF viewer with query args which is a good thing for QR code
https://bestwebsoft.com/live-buttons-preview/ this is a demo blog.
https://bestwebsoft.com/live-buttons-preview/?print=pdf and here you can access the PDF.Now coming to generating QR you can do that with google API like this

Note: If you’re looking to direct download of PDf instead of opening in browser then I am not sure about it, you can ask the plugin developers what their plugin can do and they have paid plugin as well.
Let me know if you have any other queries.
