## Description

eBook Crafter turns your existing posts, pages and custom post types into PDF eBooks,
right from inside WordPress. Gather your finest content, edit it in the native block
editor and export into PDF format, ready to read on screen or print on paper.

Finished PDFs automatically appear in your Media Library, where you can sell them
as digital products, gate behind a membership plugin or send to print.

Check out the full video walkthrough of eBook Crafter:

#### From published posts to a product

Every post you publish gets its traffic once and then goes into the archive. If 
you package that content as an eBook, the same content becomes something readers
will be willing to pay for, sign up to gain access, or print and share offline. 
eBook Crafter handles the whole process where your content has already been created
and saved.

#### What will you make with eBook Crafter?

 * **Travel bloggers** – Sell travel guides built from posts you’ve published.
 * **Food bloggers** – Collect your readers’ favorite recipes into a book people
   will happily pay for.
 * **Marketers** – Create lead magnets to trade expert knowledge for email addresses.
 * **Educators** – Turn lessons from LifterLMS, TutorLMS or LearnDash into course
   packs and question banks. Pull in the relevant custom post types, edit in the
   block editor and export your PDF in minutes.
 * **Photographers** – Present your best work in a print-ready format clients can
   buy.
 * **Students and teachers** – Build yearbooks to capture a school year in pictures
   and text.
 * **Anyone** – Preserve your memories in a book you can print and preserve.

#### Three main steps to a finished PDF

 1. **Gather** – Search your posts, pages and custom post types and pull them into 
    your book as chapters.
 2. **Craft** – Arrange cover pages and chapters and a table of contents will be auto-
    added. Next, fine-tune content for every page in the block editor interface.
 3. **Publish** – Export a PDF and it will be automatically added to your Media Library.
    From there, you can then sell it with WooCommerce, attach it to an opt-in form 
    or gate it behind a membership.

#### Free features

 * Custom eBook post type
 * Page, Chapter and Table of Contents blocks
 * Local PDF generation with DOMPDF
 * PDF version history in the media library

rendering and print-grade typography. 2. You get pre-made book templates, and the
ability to add your own templates and custom fonts. 3. Automatic page numbers are
included in the table of contents 4. Advanced support for acessibility is available
in PDFs through Prince – your eBook will work well with screen readers and meets
common accessibility and archiving standards. [Learn more.](https://www.princexml.com/doc/prince-output/#pdf-accessibility)
4. Get priority support and a direct say in feature requests for the future roadmap
of eBook Crafter.

Pro features are provided entirely by the separate Pro plugin. This plugin contains
no locked functionality.

### External services

This plugin connects to the jsDelivr CDN to fetch Twemoji emoji images during PDF
generation.

 * **What it is and what it is used for:** The bundled DOMPDF engine cannot render
   system emoji glyphs, so any emoji found in your book content are replaced with
   the open-source [Twemoji](https://github.com/jdecked/twemoji) PNG images, fetched
   from jsDelivr (`cdn.jsdelivr.net`) and embedded into the PDF.
 * **What data is sent and when:** Only when you generate a PDF and only if the 
   book content contains emoji. The request contains the Unicode codepoints of the
   emoji being rendered (as part of the image filename) and standard HTTP request
   metadata (such as your server’s IP address). No personal data, content, or account
   information is transmitted. No requests are made while browsing or editing.
 * **Service provider:** jsDelivr — [Terms of Service](https://www.jsdelivr.com/terms),
   [Privacy Policy](https://www.jsdelivr.com/terms/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net).
   The Twemoji artwork is licensed under CC-BY 4.0.

### Source code

This plugin’s JavaScript is built with [@wordpress/scripts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts).
The complete source of every compiled file in `build/` is included in the plugin’s`
src/` directory, with the build configuration (`package.json`, `webpack.config.js`,`
postcss.config.js`).

To rebuild the compiled assets:

 1. `npm install`
 2. `npm run build`

PHP dependencies in `vendor/` are managed with Composer (`composer.json`); the bundled
libraries (such as [Dompdf](https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf)) each carry their 
own license and repository information in their headers.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/ebookcrafter` directory, or
    install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Open **eBook Crafter** in the admin menu to create your first eBook.

## FAQ

### What WordPress and PHP versions are required?

WordPress 6.3 or higher and PHP 8.1 or higher.

### Which content can I include in my eBook?

Posts, pages and custom post types. If your lessons, recipes or portfolio items 
are saved in a custom post type, you can pull them into your book as chapters.

### Can I sell or gate the PDFs I create?

Yes. Finished PDFs are saved to your Media Library, so you can sell them with WooCommerce
or Easy Digital Downloads, attach them to an email opt-in or place them behind an
exclusive membership using a membership plugin.

### Does the free version include the Pro PDF engine?

No. The free version generates PDFs with Dompdf on your server. Higher-fidelity 
Pro rendering is available in [Pro](https://ebookcrafter.com/).

### Does this plugin call external services?

No account or API key is required, and PDFs are generated locally on your server.
The only external request the plugin makes is fetching Twemoji emoji images from
the jsDelivr CDN during PDF generation, and only when your book content contains
emoji — see the “External services” section for details. Pro upgrades are purchased
on ebookcrafter.com (external link only; no license SDK is bundled in this free 
plugin).

I had an opportunity to test drive this plugin since its early days, and it has 
come up very well. It offers a wonderful and easy way to create an ebook from existing
or new posts – You can regroup and distribute your older memories as PDF books! 
These can then be read on Kindle or your favorite PDF reader app while on the go.

I’ve used eBook Crafter on my site, and was surprised at the quality of it. It worked
very well with no bugs at all. It worked natively in the block editor too no problems!
