I was just about to program something from scratch when I came upon this. I love the simplicity of this plugin. No unnecessary API calls. No convoluted programming. Just pure and simple HTML > PDF. Easy to build upon and extend. 10/10 would mpdf again! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f926d2f0e37ae5c38a0e74907f09fc55aff13baebb6079fae8d85c081523b6ef? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very good and flexible](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-good-and-flexible-6/)󠁿 [Tibow](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pyho/) February 1, 2023 Thanks for this plugin very functional and flexible with some coding.Best solution found for WordPress.Please update for WP 6.1 even if it works well as it is.
