Fancy Product Designer Multistep Product Configurator
Hey Alexus (and everyone else),
Thank you for the feedback. I haven't played around with Corel Draw x4 before but it is good to know it works. I have been able to open in Illustrator with all the layers intact (although the fonts go kind of crazy). Doing a bit of research and i can't find anything regarding layer preservation in Photoshop, im sure someone who is smarter than me may be able to so it though. But at this stage im not going to focus on being able to edit the final pdf (you can do that in the product designer and then output again) but more on outputting a pdf that is better suited to send to a printer (specifically digital printer).
Ill get together a beta version of the plugin in the next week and upload it here. if anyone plans to use it please don't use it on live websites and make sure you have a working and tested backup (for WP akeeba is really good). As I will not take any responsibility if it wrecks your site (it shouldn't though). Then we can look at refining it and getting everything working correctly.
Hi Roddy !
Yes, some interest still here. I will contact a client tomorrow about your test file and keep you in touch.
Hello everyone. I am looking to build a WP plugin that will build a PDF properly through TCPDF. Im just seeing if there is still interest. There will be some limitations (specifically with curved text).
im thinking it should have the ability to set margins, crop marks and clip images correctly. I am not in the print industry and have attached a test pdf. if someone could please let me know if it would be suitable to send to a printer (despite the RGB colour profile)
Any news Radykal?
+1 here ! This subject has 2 years old... I hope we will see this feature in less than 2 other years
Any news on this?
I've currently been using the image export option rather than pdf and choosing SVG format. This way I at least have the text with correct font and size as long as you have the same fonts installed. It also embeds the svg and png artwork. The only downside for me is jpg - it doesn't embed but links. This requires manually download the linked JPEGs via ftp or something.
I agree a batch export feature is needed.

Better PDF creation would be a great addition to this plugin.
If it is to be taken seriously by the print industry, then the PDFs that are exported really need to have fonts embedded.
The whole point of an online designer is that it saves the Printer/Webstore owner time. If they have to recreate a product from scratch to send to print then its not really saving time.
Not a criticism, just my view as to where the plugin is lacking.
Overall a very, very good piece of software.
