WP Post to PDF and Custom Fields

You need to dig into code to do that, the file you should check is ‘wp-post-to-pdf.php’ in WP Post to PDF plugin directory.

@dimitri Did you manage to display the custom field values in the PDF?

I defined 2 filters in my theme’s functions.php

//PDF - GENERATION FILTERS

function wp_post_to_pdf_content_prepend($content, $post_id){
    $post = get_post($post_id);
    $new_content = ....;

    // -- FOR TYPES & VIEWS
    // $new_content = types_render_field('price', array()); //get price custom field for $post

    return $new_content . $content;
}

function wp_post_to_pdf_content_append($content, $post_id){
    $post = get_post($post_id);
    $new_content = ...

    return $content . $new_content;
}

add_filter( 'wp_post_to_pdf_content_prepend', 'wp_post_to_pdf_content_prepend', 10, 2);
add_filter( 'wp_post_to_pdf_content_append', 'wp_post_to_pdf_content_append', 10, 2);

I added following code in generate_pdf_file($id, $forceDownload = false) function of wp-post-to-pdf.php file before calling of $pdf->SetCreator

$post->post_content = apply_filters('wp_post_to_pdf_content_prepend', $post->post_content, $post->ID);

$post->post_content = apply_filters('wp_post_to_pdf_content_append', $post->post_content, $post->ID);

Let me know if it works for you or any better way you know.

Thanks

Am interested in this too. I’m also using Types, and although I’m able to add custom fields to wp-post-to-pdf.php, whenever I need to use the call types_render_field, my PDF is fine, but I’m no longer able to edit Posts – returns a blank screen and changes aren’t saved.

Thoughts and/or ideas ?
best,
