AC Print + Email adds a simple Print link and a lightweight Email dropdown to posts, pages, and archive views.
It is designed for sites that value clarity, accessibility, and user trust over analytics-heavy sharing widgets and third-party services.
The plugin uses: 
* The browser’s native print dialog 
* The visitor’s own email provider or mail client 
* A copy-link fallback for universal compatibility
No emails are sent from your server. 
No tracking pixels are injected. 
No external APIs are required.
<h3>Philosophy: Human-first sharing</h3>
Most sharing plugins today are built around tracking, engagement metrics, and external networks.
AC Print + Email is built around people.
This plugin follows a few simple principles:
<ul>
<li>
Use tools users already trust 
Printing uses the browser’s native print dialog. Email opens in the user’s own mail provider or mail app.
</li>
<li>
Avoid third-party services 
No URL shorteners, redirect chains, or external dashboards.
</li>
<li>
Respect privacy by default 
No analytics, no tracking pixels, no background requests.
</li>
<li>
Separate user intent 
Printing and emailing are distinct actions with different expectations and behaviors.
</li>
<li>
Stay out of the way 
The toolbar is minimal, theme-agnostic, and designed to blend into content.
</li>
</ul>
This approach mirrors how the early web worked: direct, understandable, and user-controlled.

<h3>Placement & Theme Compatibility</h3>
By default, the toolbar is automatically injected into supported content.
For older or heavily customized themes, you may prefer Shortcode only placement, which gives you full control over where the toolbar appears.
Use the shortcode: [ac_print_email]
This mode avoids layout conflicts and is recommended for legacy or custom templates.
<h3>Why this plugin does NOT send email from your server</h3>
Sending email from a WordPress server introduces complexity, privacy concerns, and deliverability issues.
AC Print + Email intentionally avoids server-side email so that: 
* Emails are sent by the user, not your site 
* SPF and DKIM issues are avoided 
* User expectations are respected 
* Privacy is preserved
If you need server-side email campaigns, this plugin is not designed to replace that functionality.
<h3>Accessibility</h3>
Accessibility is treated as a first-class feature.
The toolbar supports: 
* Full keyboard navigation 
* Proper focus management 
* ARIA-expanded and ARIA-live announcements 
* Screen-reader friendly labels and feedback
<h3>Usage</h3>
The toolbar can be automatically injected into content, or placed manually using a shortcode: [ac_print_email]
<h3>License</h3>
This plugin is licensed under the GPLv2 or later.

WordPress PDF Templates
This plugin utilises the DOMPDF Library to provide a simple URL endpoint e.g. http://my-site.com/my-post/pdf/ that generates a downloadable PDF file.
If pretty permalinks are disabled. GET parameters (e.g. ?p=1&pdf) can be used instead.
The PDF output can be customized by copying the index-pdf.php file from the plugin directory to your theme and creating your own custom template for PDF prints.
Stylesheets used on the site are disabled by default, but you can define your own stylesheets within the pdf-template.php file. PDF Templates can be previewed as raw HTML at the /pdf-preview URL endpoint.
