External Services

This plugin connects to the external service https://html2pdf.app in order to generate PDF files from HTML content.

When a PDF is generated, the plugin sends the following data to the html2pdf.app API:
– The HTML of the current post or page (required to create the PDF)
– PDF configuration options such as paper size, orientation, and margins

No personal data about users is transmitted.

Service Provider:
html2pdf.app
Terms: https://html2pdf.app/terms
Privacy Policy: https://html2pdf.app/privacy

The service is required for PDF generation. The plugin will not function without an API key from the provider.
