<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin relies on two external services to function. No data is sent to any external service without user action (form submission or admin registration).
<h4>SheetPop API</h4>
This plugin connects to the SheetPop API to convert Excel templates into PDFs.
<ul>
<li>Service URL: <a href="https://sheetpop.dev" rel="nofollow ugc">https://sheetpop.dev</a></li>
<li>API Endpoint: <code>https://jl46dss506.execute-api.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com</code></li>
</ul>
The following data is sent to the SheetPop API:
<ol>
<li>Registration (<code>POST /register</code>) — When the site administrator registers for an API key from the plugin settings page, the admin email address, site URL, and locale are sent. This happens once during initial setup.</li>
<li>Template upload (<code>POST /templates/upload-url</code>) — When the administrator uploads an Excel template from the plugin settings page, a pre-signed upload URL is requested. The template file name and size are sent.</li>
<li>PDF generation (<code>POST /convert</code>) — When a visitor submits a Contact Form 7 form (or a WooCommerce order is completed), the form field values and template key are sent to generate a PDF.</li>
<li>Job polling (<code>GET /jobs/{id}</code>) — After PDF generation is requested, the plugin polls for the job status. Only the job ID is sent.</li>
<li>Usage check (<code>GET /usage</code>) — When the administrator views the plugin settings page, the current month’s usage count is retrieved.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://sheetpop.dev/terms/" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a></li>
<li><a href="https://sheetpop.dev/privacy/" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Amazon S3 (Amazon Web Services)</h4>
Generated PDF files and uploaded Excel templates are stored in Amazon S3, operated by the SheetPop service. The plugin does not communicate with Amazon S3 directly — all S3 interactions are handled server-side by the SheetPop API. Generated PDFs are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
<ul>

<h4>How to use it</h4>
NOTE: If you have updated to WP5.* or you are using the Gutenberg editor plugin you should also have a look at the Gutenberg – WP5 Block editor section of this page.
<ol>
<li>Create a standard document with the content that you want to insert in your Post or Page using your favourite Word Processor or Spreadsheet (MS Word, Libre Office or Open Office).</li>
<li>IMPORTANT: Save your document in .odt (or .ods format for spreadsheets) format. In MS Word choose OpenDocument (.odt) in your Save As dialogue (in Libre or Open Office is the default format). If you are working with Excel you may equivalently save it in Open Document Format (.ods in this case).</li>
<li>Create or edit a Post or Page in your WordPress interface.</li>
<li>Click the Insert Document button located over the text editor.</li>
<li>A standard WordPress media window will open. You may upload a new document with the required contents or use a previously uploaded document.</li>
<li>After choosing a file click on the Insert button.</li>
<li>A [docxpresso] shortcode will be included within your text editor. </li>
<li>You may then add or not any additional content to your post but do not try to modify by hand the contents of the Docxpresso shortcode unless you really know what you are doing.</li>
<li>You may insert as many documents as you wish in a single Post or Page.</li>
</ol>
NOTE: You may use also Docxpresso plugin in conjunction with other plugins that allow to retrieve documents from cloud storage repositories like Amazon S3.
Check this video tutorial where you will find a detailed example of all the above:
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wu_pi8FOrUs?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
In case you want to make any of your tables sortable you also should:
<ol>
<li>Declare the first row of your table as a header row within your Office document</li>
<li>insert a “@” symbol as the first character in every column that you wish to be sortable</li>
<li>If you want to sort columns by numbers that do not follow the en-US standard, i.e. 3,576.45, you should modify the number format for sorting in your plugin options panel under the Settings section of your WordPress installation</li>
</ol>
You may check how to do it with the help of this video:
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Zv7lw_EliA8?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
Since v2.1 you may also insert in your document a link to a yotube video, a Google form or a Google doc to render it in your WordPress post or page:
<ol>
<li>Go to youtube, Google forms or Google docs interfaces and copy the offered share link</li>
<li>Always use, if available, the short URL format</li>
<li>Insert it into your office document as a link</li>
<li>By default the videos are fluid and the forms and docs take all available width space. But you can set custom width and height by adding, for example, ‘?width=600&height=400’ to the link URL</li>
</ol>
You may see an example in the following video:
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dWl-RbFmcRE?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
<h4>Gutenberg – WP5 Block editor</h4>
Since v2.3 this plugin is compatible with the new “WP block editor”, also known as Gutenberg:
<ol>
<li>Click on the Docxpresso block that is available together with all the standard widget blocks within your block editor interface.</li>
<li>A new block will appear in the editor interface with a button inviting you to select a file.</li>
<li>Clicking on that button a standard WordPress media window will open. You may upload a new document with the required contents or use a previously uploaded document.</li>
<li>After clicking on the “Select button” a shortcode will be inserted in your editor.</li>
<li>As before, if you wish, you may insert multiple documents with Docxpresso in the same page or post and combine them with all other available blocks.</li>
</ol>
NOTE: With this new editor you need to save the edition before being able to visualize the uploaded document in the preview page.
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q4pflMSiNsg?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
If you prefer to use the “Classical editor” in your WP5 installation you may proceed as described in the previous section.
