Get at querystring value above iframe

Hi.

I have placed my own shortcode in my template. In that shortcode, I want to get at the querystring. But with e2pdf-view, it's creating an iframe. So I can't access the querystring. I tried a shortcode on the page I previously was using [e2pdf-view] and in that shortcode tried returning [e2pdf-view] with do_shortcode. Nothing displays.

Is there a better way to get at the querystring?
Is there a way I can use do_shortcode inside my own shortcode?

return do_shortcode( '[e2pdf-view id="2" responsive="true" hide="presentation,openfile"]');
Keep in mind, this shortcode works for me on it's own on the page, just not from inside another shortcode.

Thanks!

Hi,

By default E2Pdf can't render $_GET or $_POST parameters inside PDF however it must be possible to accomplish the task with arg1, arg2, arg3 attributes by which you can send data to PDF via do_shortcode: https://e2pdf.com/support/docs#shortcode-e2pdf-view

The reason why do_shortcode doesn't work - it's required "dataset" to be defined so E2Pdf can know for which Page / Post / Entry it must be created PDF. So if E2Pdf Template connected to "Pages" - datasetsmust be Page ID, if to Custom Post Type - it must be the ID of some Custom Post Type. So the correct usage will be something like this: https://codeshare.io/wnYnK9

Inside E2Pdf Template you will need to use [e2pdf-arg key="arg1"] / [e2pdf-arg key="arg2"] to output data from arguments also keep attention to remove dbl quotes from string which must be rendered as via "arg" attributes.
