 * This plugin is not recommended for Cloud based hosting services. I’m hoping to
   save others from our experience.
 * This plugin contributes to ongoing site slowness since it has over 230 unique
   instance of it directly causing over 5 seconds of delay when loading a page. 
   For the Print PDF Pro plugin, we’re seeing references to the following function:
   file_get_contents() /www/wp-content/plugins/pdf-print-pro/mpdf/mpdf.php:11810
   any sort of “file” based PHP function is going to take longer, which is why file-
   based functions are not recommended for Cloud environments, so the slowness here
   is a known issue that the plugin developer should avoid for cloud-based clients
   where possible.
