This post summarizes updates to two Craft CMS plugins developed as part of CoolTRONIC.pl: PDF Generator and CDN Cache & Preload.
The first plugin generates PDF documents from content and templates. The second helps manage caching, preloading, and integrations with Cloudflare and Varnish.
PDF Generator for Craft CMS
PDF Generator creates documents from Craft CMS entries, URLs and custom templates. It can be used for product catalogs, manuals, technical datasheets or reports generated from content stored in the editorial panel.
The plugin uses the mPDF library and integrates with Craft CMS Assets. It supports document protection, thumbnail generation, dynamic QR codes, and optional packages extending the document-generation workflow.
Selected Updates
- a shared development line for Craft CMS 3 and Craft CMS 4,
- PDF generation from selected URLs,
- support for optional external packages,
- document-protection settings,
- interface, documentation and stability improvements.
CDN Cache & Preload for Craft CMS
CDN Cache & Preload helps manage caching, cache purging, and content preloading. The plugin works with Cloudflare and can also be used with a Varnish reverse proxy.
Its purpose is to make content refreshes easier to control after website updates and to reduce delays caused by regenerating pages.
Selected Updates
- Cloudflare cache purging from Craft CMS,
- sitemap-based preloading,
- support for Varnish-related workflows,
- Cloudflare zone connection verification,
- configuration and stability improvements.
Where Can You Find the Plugins?
The plugins are available in the Craft Plugin Store. I also publish code and additional project information on GitHub.
