The Canvas
A True Drag-and-Drop Canvas
Most PDF plugins force you into pre-built templates or fixed block layouts. PDFDraft is different — it gives you a free-form canvas where you place every element exactly where you want it, with pixel-perfect precision.
Place text, images, tables, and shapes anywhere on the page
Resize, rotate, and reposition every element freely with snap guides
Layer elements and group them for complex multi-element designs
Preview your design in real time before exporting to PDF
What You Can Build
Everything You Need in One Editor
From a single text block to a full multi-page invoice, the visual editor has all the tools to bring your design to life.
Rich Elements Library
Add text blocks, images, tables, date fields, dividers, and dynamic WP Data Fields from the sidebar. Search by name to find elements instantly.
Pixel-Perfect Positioning
Drag elements anywhere on the canvas, or enter exact X/Y coordinates in millimeters via the Properties panel. Distance overlays show spacing at a glance.
Full Typography Control
Choose font family, weight, size, color, alignment, and line-height for every text element. Bold, italic, underline, and list formatting are all a single click away.
Flexible Tables
Drag a table element onto the canvas, configure rows and columns, adjust cell padding, and edit content inline. Perfect for invoices, order summaries, and data reports.
Layers & Grouping
Control stacking order from the Layers panel. Group multiple elements into a single unit, move them together, and ungroup any time for individual edits.
Pixel Guide & Snap Alignment
Enable the pixel guide to display live distance measurements between elements and canvas edges. Snap guides auto-align as you drag for effortless layouts.
Elements Panel
Every Element You Need, One Drag Away
The Elements panel gives you instant access to every building block for your PDF design. Find what you need with the search bar, then drag it straight onto the canvas.
Text — headings, paragraphs, rich formatting with full font control
Images — upload from the WordPress media library, crop, add borders
Tables — configure rows, columns, cell padding, and borders inline
Date fields — auto-populated with customisable PHP date formats
Dividers — horizontal and vertical lines to separate sections cleanly
WP Data Fields — insert dynamic WordPress content (see Smart Tags below)
Full Design Control
No Grid. No Constraints. Just Your Layout.
Rotate elements to any angle, resize them by dragging corner handles, and hold Shift to lock the aspect ratio. Need exact measurements? Open the Properties panel and type the numbers directly.
Rotate any element to any angle via the rotation handle
Right-click alignment menu: left, center, right, top, middle, bottom
Duplicate, copy/paste, and nudge with keyboard arrow keys
Smooth zoom with Ctrl/Cmd + scroll or pinch gesture on touch devices
Pair With Smart Tags
Make Your Canvas Come Alive with Dynamic Data
The visual builder is even more powerful when paired with Smart Tags. Drop a WP Data Field onto your canvas, type a forward slash, and select any WordPress field — post title, user name, order total, site URL, and more. When the PDF is generated, every tag is replaced automatically with real content.
Popular Smart Tags
/post.title
/user.display_name
/site.name
/post.date
