Description
Press Review creates a PDF magazine-style daily review from your latest WordPress posts.
The first page contains a three-column index with featured images, titles, authors, dates and excerpts. Each preview title links directly to the full article page inside the PDF. Every full article starts on a new page, while long articles can continue across additional pages.
The plugin also includes a final editorial page where you can add the director name and the editorial staff. A shortcode lets you publish a download link anywhere on your site.
Press Review is designed for blogs, online magazines, local newspapers and editorial websites that want to create a simple daily PDF edition from existing WordPress posts.
