A: Yes, it’s definitely possible — but it requires a small bridge between WordPress and PDF Maker using Google Sheets, Airtable, or Make/Zapier.
Here’s how you can do it:
Option 1: Using Google Sheets as a middle layer Use a plugin like WP All Export or Uncanny Automator to export posts from a specific category or tag into a Google Sheet.
Connect that sheet to PDF Maker as your data source.
Design a Google Docs or MS Word template with placeholders for title, date, content, etc.
Run a bulk automation or trigger it when new posts are added.
Option 2: Using Make or Zapier If you prefer a more automated setup, tools like Make.com (Integromat) or Zapier can pull content directly from WordPress and send it to PDF Maker for generation.
How easy is it? If you're already familiar with WordPress plugins or Google Sheets: fairly straightforward
If you're a complete beginner: you might need 15–30 minutes to set it up the first time, using the tutorials from both platforms.
There’s no direct “WordPress integration” inside PDF Maker today, but with the tools above, you can still automate article-to-PDF workflows with no coding.
A: At the moment, code blocks are not officially supported as dynamic content. However, you can include Python code as part of the dynamic content if it is structured as plain text. To ensure readability and proper formatting:
Use consistent indentation (spaces, not tabs). Avoid special characters that may be interpreted as control codes or placeholders. Wrap the code in triple backticks (```) or use indentation (like 4 spaces) when displaying it in output templates.
This way, while it’s not a "true" code block in a dynamic editor, it is still readable and usable for assignments or exams.
Sure, I’ll ask the team to add this as a feature request. Let me know if there’s anything else you need, or if you’d like a quick platform walkthrough—we can book a meeting together for that.
Q: Different long sheets
Can PDF Maker recognize how many rows has an Excel sheet or a Google sheet and then the template uses each row, regardless how many?
A: If you're trying to generate a separate PDF for each row in your Google Sheet, there's no limit to how many rows you can have overall. However, please note that when using Google Sheets, rows need to be selected manually, and you can generate a maximum of 10 PDFs at a time.
On the other hand, if you're trying to generate a single PDF that loops through and includes all rows at once (for example, like a table of line items), this isn't currently supported directly with Google Sheets. For that kind of dynamic table generation, we recommend using Airtable or Notion with linked records or line item structures.
A: Yes, PDF Maker provides full training support with both step-by-step documentation and video tutorials, designed for users of all skill levels — especially those without a technical background.

As someone with no code ability. I'm wanting to take fields from a spreadsheet say a google sheet or excel sheet and put those into a document in correct places. will i with no coding abilty be able to make this happen with your program? it's really just mail merge to be honest, so presuming we can? is there a simple way when a new entry is added for this to run on the new line of entered data?
A: Yes — 100%. You don’t need any coding skills to do this.
PDF Maker was built for exactly this kind of use case — think of it like a modern, automated version of mail merge, but with more flexibility.
Here’s how it works (all no-code):
Connect your Google Sheet or Excel file You simply select the spreadsheet as your data source.
Create or import your template You can use a Google Docs or Word file and add placeholders like {{Name}}, {{Email}}, {{Amount}} where you want data to go.
Map your fields You’ll see your spreadsheet columns listed. Just match them to the placeholders in your document. No scripts, no formulas.
Automate generation You can choose to generate a document:
Manually (click a button to run it)
Or automatically whenever a new row is added (using integrations like Make.com or Zapier, which also require no coding)
So yes, it’s super simple. If you can create a Google Sheet and write in a Google Doc, you can use PDF Maker. And you can set it to auto-run whenever a new entry is added.
Q: wordpress?
Could this be used to create a PDF of a category or taxonomy of WordPress articles? If yes, how easy is this to set up?
