I recently installed the WordPress PDF Templates plugin on the family of blogs at *.jotwell.com and it seems to work very well. But what I really need is slightly different.
The plugin prodcus a pdf at a predictable URL on the user’s demand. I’d like a way to have a static (and cacheable) pdf produced at a predictable URL (which need not be that of the post) either at the time the post is created or as a result of a cron job. The reason I need this — which unlikely to be unique to my situation — is that some scholarly indexing services for journals require that material be sent to them either as pdfs or as links to pdfs and I wish to automate this procedure.
In my case the matter is further complicated by that fact that I wish to aggregate the outpout of a large number of blogs onto one list that I would then forward to the indexing service because my journal is organized in sections each of which is its own blog. If the files were being output to a predictable directory, however, it would not be hard for me to pull the names and assemble the list.
I would be very grateful for any advice you could offer. Thank you.
