PDF for GravityView

This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page

1. The Official Extension: “PDF for GravityView”

This is a premium extension (developed by Gravity PDF and sold through GravityKit) specifically designed to bridge the gap between your web layout and a PDF document.

• View-Aware Layouts: Unlike standard PDF tools, this extension understands your GravityView settings. It automatically generates a PDF that mirrors the columns, rows, and field logic you’ve set up in your Single Entry View.

• Drag-and-Drop Editor: You can design the PDF directly within the View editor without writing code.

• Actionable Fields:

  • Link to PDF: A field you can drop into your View that generates a download link for the visitor.

  • Share PDF: An email input field that allows visitors to send the entry as a PDF attachment to any email address.

• Customization: You can add custom headers, footers, watermarks, and change fonts/colors to match your branding.

2. The Free Alternative: Core “Gravity PDF” Integration

If you are already using the free Gravity PDF plugin, you can integrate it into GravityView manually.

• Shortcode Method: You can copy the PDF shortcode from your Gravity Forms settings (under Settings > PDF) and paste it into a Custom Content field inside your View.

  Example: [gravitypdf id="xxxxxx" entry="{entry_id}"]

• Limitation: The PDF will use the standard Gravity PDF templates (like the “Ruby” or “Zinfandel” designs) rather than matching the visual layout of your GravityView.
