Great

Great, but the PDF Button text change doesn’t work.
Support PHP8, super helpful developer
By hitmonng on December 16, 2024
Contrary to older reviews, the developer has updated the plugin to support PHP8. I’ve tried nearly every PDF generator plugin out there, and most are either overly complicated, have cluttered UIs, bombard you with paid upgrade ads, or are just awful to set up and use—especially for something that should be straightforward with the abundance of PDF libraries available. This plugin is the one—clean, no-nonsense, developer-friendly (if you need to control the styling and output), and most importantly, backed by a super helpful developer. If only more developers created sensible, easy-to-use, and well-designed plugins like this one.
Just downgrade your php to 7.4 and it still works !

No longer maintained, not compatible with PHP 8
Like the title says, this plugin is no longer maintained and it is not compatible with PHP 8.
This is the error it outputs using PHP 8.0:
Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/dk-pdf/vendor/mpdf/mpdf/src/Mpdf.php on line 2209
Please, pretty please, somebody fix this !!!
Awesome Plugin
