Hi,

Was you able to connect E2Pdf Template and get needed data to be able to export from "E2Pdf" -> "Export"? If yes - then you need just to correctly call shortcode with correct "dataset" as "auto dataset" like [e2pdf-download id="1"] supported only on frontend depending on connected "Item" and supported instances.

You can call shortcode dynamically via PHP as:

echo do_shortcode('[e2pdf-download id="1" dataset="'.$dataset_id.'"]');

* where $dataset_id - is the ID of Post which is under Post Type which you set as "Item" under E2Pdf Template and from which E2Pdf must be able to get data into PDF.

We remain at your service.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

You can connect E2Pdf Template just to "WordPress" -> "Pages" and use some custom Page ID in all shortcodes like:

echo do_shortcode('[e2pdf-download id="1" dataset="32" arg1="'.$arg1.'"]');

* where "32" will be correct and existing WordPress Page ID which is located under "Pages", even if you do not need to get any information from it as E2Pdf shortcodes requires the "dataset" to be set correctly in all cases.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

P.S. You can try to export data via "E2Pdf" -> "Export" if you have connection to custom post type where you must be able to see dynamically generated shortcodes with correct datasets.

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!
