Accessing the Window Cards settings
With the Window Cards add on feature enabled you can access the settings by navigating to 'Property Hive > Settings' from the left hand WordPress menu:
If you have Property Hive only mode enabled this will just be 'Settings' direct from the left hand WordPress menu:
If you don't see the 'Settings' submenu option available it could mean your user role doesn't have the right permissions as this is only available to administrators.
From there you should see a 'Window Cards' settings tab:
Click this to access the settings for this feature.
Settings explained
Here you can choose the format of the output window card:
HTML - The window card will be output to the screen as a HTML webpage.
PDF - The window card will be generated and output as a PDF file. We use a PDF library called wkhtmltopdf . This library will need to be installed on the server if you wish to generate window cards as PDFs.
If you are unable to install wkhtmltopdf you could select 'HTML' as the 'Layout type'. Then when the window card has been produced do ctrl+P to print the page and print it to PDF that way:

The add on comes with a ready-made layout out of the box.
Clicking 'Preview' will pick a property at random and show you the property details within the selected layout.
Select which layout you would like use, or if you're interested in building your own, select 'Custom layout' and read our guide on how to create bespoke layouts.
If you've selected PDF as the output format you can control various aspects of the generated PDF using these settings, from orientation to page size.
