This will be a real estate website where we will add some properties.
We need for each property to allow the users to download a PDF that autogenerates using the page content.

How can this be achieved?

Thanks,

Franco

Hi Franco,

Toolset does not have such a functionality.

One simple way to create a link to print the same page is to add a CSS code for print media.

You can use that CSS code to remove extra stuff of the page and only have a white background with text when printing:

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print"> 
 

Then you can add a normal link to your view but with additional Javascript code to trigger the print preview of the browser:

<a href="#" id="print-button" onclick="window.print();return false;">Print this page</a> 

Most current browser have the option to print as PDF which will show that stripped down CSS version of the page.

I also did a quick Google search that might help you consider using other plugins that support such functionality:

Thank you.
