Does it need WooCommerce?

No. Without WooCommerce you can use a CSV file with the columns name, sku, price, category, description, image (or Spanish: nombre, referencia, precio, categoria, descripcion, imagen).

Are accents, ñ and the € sign supported?

Yes. The PDF embeds DejaVu fonts with full UTF-8 coverage, and Excel CSV files in Windows-1252 are converted automatically.

Is there a product limit?

No. The free version includes every product. Very large catalogs (more than 1,000 products by default, filter ordifolio_volume_size) are split into several PDF parts and the shortcode shows one button per part.

Where is the PDF stored?

In wp-content/uploads/ordifolio/. The file is public so visitors can download it via the shortcode.

How do I get support?

Use the WordPress.org support forum or write to ifritalexis@gmail.com. Pro customers get priority email support.

Does the plugin collect any data?

Only if you opt in. On activation Ordifolio (via the Freemius SDK) asks whether you want to share non-sensitive diagnostic data and receive updates; you can skip it and the plugin works the same. Licensing and payments for Pro are handled by Freemius.

Will it work on cheap hosting?

Yes. Generation runs in small steps: products are read 100 at a time and the PDF is rendered in parts of up to 1,000 products, so each request stays short and light. Thumbnails are used instead of full-size images and remote resources are disabled.

Which images can be used from a CSV?

Only images that already exist in your Media Library (paste their URL). Remote images are never downloaded.
