Overview
WhatsApp PDF Share is a lightweight WordPress plugin that allows users to quickly convert blog posts into downloadable PDF files and share them directly through WhatsApp. It's perfect for bloggers, publishers, or anyone who wants to give their readers a simple way to distribute content.
The plugin adds a customizable button below each post (or wherever you place the shortcode). When clicked, it opens a neat modal where users can enter a phone number and instantly generate a PDF, which is then shared via WhatsApp with a pre-filled message.
Built using native WordPress features like AJAX, shortcodes, and localized scripts, the plugin is designed to be fast, secure, and easy to use—no API keys or third-party accounts needed.
