PDF Generator is an app that allows you to convert any Page on your Wix website into a template that can be used to generate a PDF.

Basic Use

1. Install the Widget on the page you want the user to generate the PDF from (note: If you install it on the template page it will appear in your PDF).
2. Create a new hidden page on your website and design the template. (note: The page cannot be password protected or set to “members only”).
3. Go into the Widget Settings and paste the link to your template page in “Template URL”
4. Publish and click the Download PDF button to download a copy of your PDF.
5. Optional - change the design of the PDF button, loading animation, and message to fit your site theme.

Note: Your template page must load in under 30 seconds to successfully generate a PDF. If you need longer loading times for your pages, please reach out for an enterprise solution.

Note: The template is evaluated with a screen size of 800px (width)

Note: You may see a message “Error: Request failed with status code 504” in the console during PDF generation. This is only an indication that the PDF generation time has exceeded 15 seconds, not a failure of the app.

Additional Settings (Pro only)

PDF Generator Pro allows you to give a custom name to the PDF file and folder that it will be stored in in the Wix Media Manager.

1. File Name Prefix - if set your file name prefix will be added to a random uuid as such ‘{your prefix}-{uuid}’. For basic users the prefix will always be ‘generated-pdf-{uuid}’.
2. Folder Name - the folder within which to store the PDFs. You can set up subfolders by adding a / . For example the following will store PDFs in the subfolder ‘contactForm’ within the ‘myPDFs’ folder. For basic users PDFs will always be stored in the ‘generatedPDFs’ folder.
