How do I override Save as PDF settings for one page or button?

Use the plugin settings for the default behavior across your site. If one page or one manually placed button needs different settings, add those options to that shortcode or PHP button.

The button still inherits the rest of the plugin settings. Only the options you add to the shortcode or PHP helper are changed for that button.

Use a shortcode in page content

Add a WordPress Shortcode block where the custom button should appear. For example, this button uses a different Button Text and Output Name:

[save_as_pdf_pdfcrowd button_text="Download invoice" output_name="invoice.pdf"]

Only that shortcode button uses Download invoice and invoice.pdf. Other Save as PDF buttons continue to use the plugin settings.

Override conversion or layout options the same way

Use the option names from the Save as PDF WordPress option reference. For example, this button changes Page Size and Orientation:

[save_as_pdf_pdfcrowd page_size="Letter" orientation="landscape"]

This pattern also works for behavior options such as Button Click Action or page-source options such as Conversion Mode when that specific button needs a different value.

Avoid duplicate buttons

If adding the shortcode creates a second button, the plugin is probably still adding an automatic button to the same content type. Use Show Button on to control where automatic buttons appear.

For the full placement workflow, use How do I add the Save as PDF button manually without showing it twice?.

Use PHP only in templates or custom code

If you are editing a theme template or custom plugin code, pass the same option names to create_save_as_pdf_pdfcrowd_button():

echo create_save_as_pdf_pdfcrowd_button(array(
    'button_text' => 'Download invoice',
    'output_name' => 'invoice.pdf',
));

For normal WordPress page editing, use a Shortcode block instead of editing PHP.
