Expected Outcome

I'd like my PDF specification sheets to use a permanent URL in this format:

/specifications/{product-page}.pdf

For example:

website.co.uk/specifications/P550390.pdf

The URL should always point to the specification sheet for that product, making it suitable for sharing, bookmarking, and indexing by Google.

If the PDF can be cached, that's fine. However, if I update the product specifications or any ACF fields used by the E2PDF template, the PDF available at the same URL should automatically reflect those changes. In other words, the URL should stay the same while the PDF content stays up to date.

Is this possible with E2PDF? If so, what URL rewrite or configuration would I need to use?

as a follow up to the above, is there also a means to generate permanent PDFs for all of my products, as a scheduled task, so that users aren't sat waiting for a PDF to be spun up dynamically?

Hello,

To provide you with the best solution, could you please clarify how you plan to generate the PDF download URL?

Will the shortcode be used in a product template via a custom builder, in a PHP template, or simply inserted into the product description?
