Hi there :)

I am trying to display a Download PDF button to a Custom Post Type to download a PDF with the data from the Custom Post (I am suing ACF).

In the "Export" I can download the PDF and it's working but when I add the shortcode [e2pdf-download id="1"] to my template is not working.

I am using Bricks and when I add it it says that the Shortcode is empty. See attached screenshot.

The Template is acrtivated and as "Item" I chose the name of my Post Type "Kantone".

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance
A.

PS: I also tried this way but when I click on the URL it simply redirect me to the same post and does not download the PDF

<a class="button" href="[e2pdf-download id=1]" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Custom Text or Icon</a>

Hello,

Try please to use the shortcode below in the shortcode block or rich text.:

[e2pdf-download id="1" dataset="{post_id}"]

We would really appreciate your feedback at WordPress.org!

Hi!

It's kind of working now. The only problem is that it downloads the PDF every time I reload the page.

How come?

Check please if you didn't set "Auto Download" in the E2Pdf Template Settings: https://e2pdf.com/docs/templates/builder/settings#template
