Catalog PDF Export for WooCommerce

Description

Catalog PDF Export for WooCommerce helps store owners create clean,
printable PDF product catalogs directly from WooCommerce products. It is
built for shops that need a fast way to export products to PDF, create a
WooCommerce PDF catalog, prepare product brochures, or share product
lists with customers and sales teams.

You can generate a catalog by selecting one or more WooCommerce product
categories, including subcategories automatically, or by manually picking
specific products with a live product search. The plugin supports both
compact PDF catalogs for larger product lists and brochure-style PDF
layouts for more detailed product presentations.

Main features

  • Export WooCommerce products to PDF from your WordPress admin area.
  • Create product catalogs, PDF brochures, product sheets and printable
    product lists.
  • Select products by WooCommerce category, with automatic subcategory
    inclusion.
  • Manually choose individual products using a live search field.
  • Order exported products by product name or by SKU.
  • Use a configurable grid template with 2 to 5 columns per row.
  • Use a brochure template with one full page per product.
  • Include product images, names, optional SKU, optional descriptions and
    prices.
  • Customize basic branding such as company name, tagline, color and logo.
  • Choose whether to show or hide the website URL in the PDF footer.
  • Generate PDF files directly on your own server: no external PDF
    service, no account required and no product data sent elsewhere.
  • Translation-ready, with bundled Italian, Spanish, German and French
    translations.

This plugin requires WooCommerce to be installed and active because it
reads products, categories, images and prices directly from your store.

Technical notes

  • The plugin uses its own small internal PDF writer and does not bundle
    any third-party PDF library.
  • All AJAX requests are protected by a nonce and a capability check
    (manage_woocommerce).
  • Translation files live in /languages
    (onodev-product-catalog-exporter-{locale}.po/.mo); a
    onodev-product-catalog-exporter.pot template is included for
    adding further languages.

Plugin works 100%, although I had some specific needs, I had to make some changes to the code. I needed the products to be order by SKU, and I did not want the URL of the site to be in the footer, managed to adjust the code, but it might be a nice option to add to the plugin It seems to generate the PDF very fast as well
