Hi, i tried to read your documentation but it is not clear.
How to use the PDF content plugin?

normally it would be something like {pdf=https://website.nl/phocadownload/letter ... 000|google}

or is it not a plugin whcih can work by itself and do you need to install the other PDF components too?

Thanks!

Yes, see: https://www.phoca.cz/phocapdf

Phoca PDF component uses TCPDF library for creating PDF documents. After installing this component you need to install and enable Phoca PDF plugin - specific plugin for specific part of Joomla! (e.g. plugin for content). You can manage Phoca PDF plugins in standard Joomla! Plugin Manager.
There is one font included in Phoca PDF component but you can install other Phoca PDF fonts (fonts contain large files so they are not included in basic Phoca PDF component installation package). Fonts are TCPDF fonts, so a lot of different font types can be installed in Phoca PDF.
