The PDF Generator plugin automatically exports articles and pages as PDF files as part of the site generation process. PDFs are saved to: output/pdf/

This plugin can be installed via:

python -m pip install pelican-pdf

As long as you have not explicitly added a PLUGINS setting to your Pelican settings file, then the newly-installed plugin should be automatically detected and enabled. Otherwise, you must add pdf to your existing PLUGINS list. For more information, please see the How to Use Plugins documentation.

To customize the PDF output, you can use the following settings in your Pelican configuration file:

PDF_STYLE = ""
PDF_STYLE_PATH = ""

PDF_STYLE_PATH defines a new path where rst2pdf will look for style sheets, while PDF_STYLE specifies the style you want to use. For a description of the available styles, please read the rst2pdf documentation.
