Key Features

• Personalized PDF Generation:  Automatically filling out the fields of a custom PDF file (PDF form, AcroForm) for each student by exchanging text placeholders with their full name, firstname, lastname, student ID, email, etc. from their Moodle profile data.

• PDF-Based: Unlike other plugins, teachers upload already a final PDF document with form fields prefilled with placeholders texts. The plugin handles merging student information and generates a new personalized PDF for download.

• Flexible Field Insertion: Supports inserting common fields such as student name, ID, email, or current date — just use provided placeholders as text in the template PDF.

• Instant Downloads:  Students access the activity and download their personalized PDF — no waiting, no manual editing.

• Smart Naming:  Output PDFs are provided for download together with the student’s personal data for easy organization and record-keeping.

Why This Stands Out

• Effortless Automation: Say goodbye to manual editing — every student receives the right document directly, ready-made.

• Seamless Integration: Works as a Moodle activity, easily added to any course with standard permissions and settings.

• Professional Results: Every student gets a clean, customized PDF (only fields data are amended!) — great for lab certificates, assignment coversheets, personalized instructions, and more.

Example Use Cases

• Distribute personalized lab reports or assignment cover pages.

• Provide custom certificates of completion for each student.

• Send out individualized instructions, feedback forms, or participation acknowledgments.

• Streamline paperwork for practical, fieldwork, or assessment activities.

Usage & Settings

1. Add the PDF Download activity to your course.

2. Upload your PDF template (important: AcroForm file, saved for further processing with Adobe Reader), including text placeholders for name, ID, email, etc.  (e.g., {{full_name}}, {{student_id}}, {{email_address}}).

3. Students access the activity and instantly download their personalized PDF.

Highlights

• Fast, reliable, and student-specific individual PDF generation.

• No extra plugins, coding, or scripting required for teachers.

• Supports a wide range of courses and paperwork workflows.

• Focus on teaching—let the plugin handle document personalization!
