WooCommerce Print Products (PDF) 1.1.8

The WooCommerce Print Products (PDF) plugin is a powerful tool for store owners who need to provide customers with professionally formatted flyers, brochures, or datasheets for individual products.

It is primarily used to bridge the gap between online browsing and offline reference, allowing users to save or print high-quality documents with a single click.

Key Features and Capabilities

Multi-Format Export: While PDF is the most popular, most versions of this plugin also allow users to export product data into DOCX (Microsoft Word) and CSV formats.

Fully Customizable Layouts: Store admins have full control over the visual output. You can add custom headers/footers, company logos, and brand colors to ensure the PDF looks like a professional catalog page.

Data Control: You can toggle which product details are included in the export, such as:

Price and SKU

Full or Short Descriptions

Product Attributes (Size, Color, etc.)

Customer Reviews and Ratings

QR Codes that link back to the live product page.

Access Restrictions: You can limit who has the right to print or download products—restricting access to specific user roles (like Wholesalers) or allowing guest users to download a public catalog.

Bulk Generation: Some versions allow you to generate PDFs for entire categories or your whole shop at once, effectively creating a full digital store brochure.

Common Use Cases

Use Case

Benefit

B2B / Wholesale

Allows business clients to download "Spec Sheets" to present to their own procurement teams.

Trade Shows

Print high-quality flyers on-demand to hand out to physical visitors.

Offline Comparison

Customers can print several products to compare features and prices away from the screen.

Internal Records

Store owners can keep a physical or digital archive of product details for bookkeeping or inventory.

Technical Details

Placement: The "Download PDF" button can usually be placed automatically on product pages, or manually anywhere on your site using a shortcode.

Responsiveness: The generated PDFs are designed to be "Print Friendly," meaning they remove website navigation and sidebars to focus purely on the product content.

Compatibility: Most versions are compatible with Variable Products, ensuring that all different sizes or colors are listed clearly in the printed document.

Important Distinction: Print Products vs. Print Invoices

[!NOTE]

It is important not to confuse this with WooCommerce PDF Invoices.

Print Products creates a flyer before a purchase (for marketing/sales).

PDF Invoices creates a receipt after a purchase (for accounting).
