<p>When you hand off a WordPress site to a client, they often ask “where do I edit what?”. NPC Manual Generator for Advanced Custom Fields parses the field structures defined by Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and produces an update manual that operations staff can actually read – in Markdown and PDF.</p>
<p>Designed for real-world handoff use, the plugin renders Repeater / Flexible Content / Group nesting, translates ACF location rules into readable text, and bundles a Japanese-capable font for PDF output, so the result is something you can ship as a deliverable.</p>
<h4>Main features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Read ACF local JSON (<code>acf-json/group_xxx.json</code>) and field groups stored in the database</li>
<li>Indented rendering for nested fields (Repeater / Flexible Content / Group)</li>
<li>Formatted output of field type, required flag, instructions, choices, and more</li>
<li>Location rule humanization (post type, taxonomy, page templates; resolves page/post titles when reading from the database)</li>
<li>Live preview in the admin screen</li>
<li>Markdown download (single file and Zip bundle)</li>
<li>PDF download (single file – A4 portrait, IPAex Gothic bundled, header / footer / page numbers)</li>
<li>Bulk Zip download with format selection (MD / PDF / Both)</li>
<li>Paired filename rename when bundling so that the MD and PDF for the same group share the same suffix</li>
</ul>
<h4>Translation</h4>
<p>All UI strings are wrapped with <code>__()</code> / <code>_e()</code> and the text domain <code>npc-manual-generator-for-advanced-custom-fields</code>. A Japanese translation is bundled (<code>languages/npc-manual-generator-for-advanced-custom-fields-ja.po</code>). Additional languages can be contributed through translate.wordpress.org.</p>
<h4>Roadmap</h4>
<ul>
<li>Template feature (rebrand the manual with your studio’s logo and colors)</li>
<li>Inline display in the post editor sidebar</li>
<li>Sample value capture (pull one real post and show “currently entered as …”)</li>
<li>Diff manuals (highlight changes since the previous output)</li>
<li>Automatic screenshot insertion (capture the admin screen with a headless browser and embed in the PDF)</li>
</ul>
