PDF Product Catalog for WooCommerce
There are two separate versions of the plugin included in the ZIP file you have downloaded from CodeCanyon which
work differently.
- pdfcatalog.zip - Version 1.x.x
- pdfcatalog2.zip - Version 2.x.x
Versions of the series 1.x.x use an internal PHP based PDF rendering engine which works well
but requires a lot of system resources on your web host which means if you are running a store with thousands of
products on shared web hosting it might be either too slow or won't work at all in some extreme cases.
The new Version 2.0 based versions use an external service for PDF rendering. The service is hosted by the
authors of this plugin and it is being available to you for free. It can handle extremely large product catalogs
and has fast response times. It is highly recommended that you use the newer version even though is still in
beta, it is very stable and also offers more features than 1.x.x based versions.
