just curious, why would you want to link to the PDF from within the PDF? or do you mean to make the link appear from your wordpress post/page? if the latter, check under Presentation options in Seettings > WP Post to PDF – the options for link or icon embed are stated clearly there.

hi, i want to link to the pdf whereever it is stored. so i want to link from my template to the pdf.
Greetings eximoto
Gotcha, well in that case, check the options settings like I described above. There are instructions for the code to copy to your template depending on whether you want a text link or an icon link.
best,

Hi,
call me superdump, but i do not find any detail for including a code. i only got 3 options:
Accessibility Options
Presentation Options
PDF Formatting Options
In Presentation Option i got “Icon Position” to insert an icon and “PDF Download Link” which contains an img example of an icon. But where the heck is the php download function? 🙁
Hey superdump – haha KIDDING
Actually it’s my bad, I answered too quickly and forgot that these two fields work together. So, under Presentation Options you have Icon Position and PDF download link.
Icon Position – you can choose Manual, then paste the code listed in your template
<?php if (function_exists("wpptopdf_display_icon")) echo wpptopdf_display_icon();?>
Then you can place the image, in the form of an html <img>, with absolute link to the src, into the field next to PDF Download link. Alternatively, you could probably just enter text – though I haven’t tried that as I’m using a custom icon. I think by default the plugin has an icon you can use, so you don’t have to upload your own – depends on how you want it to look.
make better sense?
hope that helps!

I think my idiotlevel is still rising. I do NOT want to have a icon, i want to have a textlink to the pdf-file out of a single post. I want to link from my single.php to the pdf like this way:<a href="<?php echo $wp_upload_dir['baseurl']."/wp-post-to-pdf-cache/".$postid->post_name.".pdf";?>the pdf file from this post</a> :-/
if you just write “the pdf file from this post” or whatever text you want into the “PDF Download link” field, then copy that code I posted above, your text will show with an automatic link to the file.
🙂
THANKS JENNY. Now i understand what you mean with that the two fields work together. The second field does not have to have <img> it can contain anything. Wow, thats a criminal plugin. Thank you Jenny Beaumont.
You are very welcome eximoto 🙂
