Structured, multilingual, print-ready PDF datasheets straight from your WooCommerce products — no screenshot, no duplicate maintenance, no stale PDFs.
The plugin takes what's already on the product page — description, technical data, attributes, Product Add-Ons, gallery — and builds its own datasheet layout with real PDF text. Technical drawings are detected in the gallery and placed full-size. Change the product and the next datasheet changes with it. One product, one source of truth, always current.
Layout: header with logo → overview with product image → 65% description | 30% technical data → technical drawing → service & advice
Checklist: 18/28 relevant checks met · thread: not required
In many shops technical data lives in five places: product page, PDF, catalogue, documentation, language version. Flip the switch and see what happens when the product page is the only source.
Example from a measurement-technology shop. Your products show their own checklist.
Content is analysed, structured and set as text in the PDF — selectable, copyable, searchable, print-sharp. Only product images and drawings are image objects. Independent of resolution and browser zoom.
Not the HTML order but a document structure: header with logo and company details, product overview with image and key figures, description beside technical data at 65 to 30, further information, drawing, service block.
Material, dimensions, measuring ranges, temperature ranges, accuracy, tolerances, cable type and length, connections, thread, weight — structured from attributes and product content.
With eight calibration levels the PDF doesn't list them — it says “Calibration: 3 calibration points”. The actual configuration is evaluated, not the form copied.
Filename, alt and title text, gallery position, similarity to other images, deviation from the main image and visual characteristics decide together. Detected drawings get their own full-width section. Deliberately conservative: when in doubt, none.
The source is the WooCommerce gallery attachments — not recommended products, WoodMart sliders, headers or content carousels. Always the full-size original, never the 280 px thumbnail.
Real WPML translations deliver the open language version. Dynamically translated frontends are detected through the active language — French, Spanish, Dutch without separate PDFs.
Cache key from product, language, content state and renderer version. 15 minutes by default. German and English never share a file; changes produce a fresh PDF.
“Creating datasheet … about 10 seconds left” counts down, then “finalising”, then “downloading”. Instant on a cache hit. Every status message localised.
Up to 28 checks per product: image, description, material, diameter, cable, connection, temperature range, standards, drawing … It distinguishes present, missing and not required for this product. Admins see the debug box under the download.
A centrally maintained advice section with clickable tel: and mailto: links. Footer on every page with the product URL as a real link, creation time, copyright, page number and legal notice.
Counters per product and language instead of a log row per download: generations, downloads, cache hits, last timestamps. The database stays small and normal product page views cost nothing.
Description, technical data, images, attributes and options stay where they're needed anyway — in WooCommerce.
The plugin detects available data, distinguishes product image from drawing, evaluates the current configuration.
Administrators see in the checklist what's present, what's missing and what isn't required for this product.
Download right on the product page. The customer gets a document with a link back to the product and a documented creation time.
Measuring ranges, accuracy, tolerances, calibration levels as an add-on — exactly the data customers want as a PDF before buying.
Dimensions, connections, threads, operating conditions, standards. Technical drawing from the gallery, full-width in the document.
Cable type, cable length, temperature range, protection class — as a structured technical block instead of prose.
Material, weight, dimensions, compatibility. Datasheet as evidence for tenders and orders.
Downloads of technical documents signal purchase intent. The statistics show which products and languages are in demand.
The customer picks options, the datasheet shows exactly that configuration — a document for quotes, approval and archives.
All features in every plan. The plans differ only in the number of websites.
No. A general PDF plugin prints a web page. Product Datasheets analyses the product information, structures it and transfers it into its own datasheet layout with real PDF text. Text stays selectable, searchable and print-sharp — independent of resolution and zoom.
From the WooCommerce product page: title, descriptions, attributes, additional information, Product Add-Ons and gallery. Images come from the gallery attachments at full size; configuration and dynamic translation from the frontend state.
Through combined signals: filename, alt and title text, gallery position, similarity to other product images, deviation from the main image and typical visual characteristics. Detection is deliberately conservative — better no drawing than the wrong image.
Only the option actually chosen appears. With eight calibration levels the PDF says “Calibration: 3 calibration points” — not the whole option list.
Yes. Real WPML translations deliver the open language version. With GTranslate the actively rendered language is used. German and English have separate cache entries; the footer URL points to the matching language version.
A few seconds depending on scope, images and server. The user sees a countdown and three status phases. From the 15-minute cache the PDF arrives instantly.
Up to 28 product-specific points — image, description, material, diameter, cable, connection, temperature range, standards, drawing and more. It distinguishes present, missing and not required for this product: a product without a thread needs no thread length.
Yes. For themes whose product hook isn't where it's expected there are fallbacks. Image detection is strictly limited to the WooCommerce gallery — WoodMart sliders, recommended products and header graphics are never taken for product images.
No. PDF generation runs inside your WordPress installation. No SaaS platform, no transfer of product data.
WordPress 6.x to 7.1, WooCommerce 8.x to 11.1, WooCommerce Product Add-Ons, WPML and GTranslate. PHP 8.4 and above only.
Changes happen in the WooCommerce product. FLAVOR Product Datasheets turns them into the document — without parallel upkeep, without stale PDFs.
