Admin Settings Configure
Users can manage the addon settings to control which product details are displayed in the catalog PDF. Simply adjust the options below to include or exclude information.
Switch on the Settings tab.
When enabled, Product ID, code, category, price, vendor, features, in stock, seo name rating, product reviews count, and popularity are all included in the generated product catalog PDF; disabling them removes their corresponding details. Also, if no features are added in the product backend, then the features addon won’t appear on the product detail page. This ensures that only relevant and available information is shown in the PDF on the storefront.
Similarly, when you enable promo text and short description, their details will appear in the product's catalog PDF, and if disabled, they will not be shown.
