 * I have checked and unchecked “Process shortcodes” but it has no effect. I have
   column shortcodes in my content, and it is outputting the actual shortcode with
   the text like:
 * [column]
    Text goes here…. [/column]
 * How do I stop it from displaying [column] and [/column] ?

 * I see that you’ve found an alternative plugin for the moment. I’m glad you could
   get something functional. Please tell me which column plugin you’re using takes
   the shortcodes you describe. I need to be able to duplicate the issue and see
   whetehr we have a conflict somewhere.
 * Thanks!

 * …and did you select the option “Other Plugins” ?
 * this will allow the formatting applied by other plugins to be passed along to
   the PDF. Processing shortcodes is one thing, but the timing of when the PDF is
   created (before or after the formatting of other plugins is applied) is another.
 * Ultimately, I want to include a whitelist/blacklist for formatting by other plugins,
   too.
 * Cheers

 * Actually, I can confirm that this is indeed a bug. When Process Shortcodes and
   Other Plugins are both disabled, the shortcodes are rendered in the pdf.
 * This is fixed on trunk. Look for it in version 1.0.1.
 * Thanks for reporting it, and apologies for my misinterpreting your initial bug
   report!
 * Cheers
