Button Settings

The Button tab places the PDF button and styles it to match your theme. Open Content to PDF → Configuration → Button.

The four button styles

“Before content” means the start of the post’s text. Most themes print the featured image above that, so the button sits under the image.

  • Button Label: The text on the button. Default Download PDF.
  • Background Color: The button color for Solid. For Soft tint, Outline and Text link it is the text and border color. Default #0256ff.
  • Text Color: Text and icon color on Solid buttons. Default #ffffff.
  • Corner Radius (px): From 0, square corners, to 30. Default 8.
  • Print Button: “Show a Print button”. Adds a second button that opens the clean layout and the print dialog. Off by default.
  • Print Button Label: Default Print.
