# Including shortcode content in PDF generated by plugin

 * I’m using the display-posts shortcode to place content on product pages. It’s
   great. However my problem is….. We use a plugin on the site that generates a 
   PDF from the page content. The PDF doesn’t display the page content that was 
   placed by the shortcode – it shows the shortcode: [display-posts]. How do I enable
   this plugin to show the right content?
    Thank you

 * Thanks for the support request.
 * I think you’ll need to speak with the developer of your PDF content plugin. They
   need to add `do_shortcode( $content );` to render the shortcodes in the content.
