2. Upload folder to the plugins directory
   • activate the plugin from the plugin config screen in ResourceSpace admin

Configuration Options

• Resource Types to exclude (pick from list). This will hide PDF Export link from the view pages of those resources.
• Fonts: can configure a filepath (relative to webroot, not a URL) to a custom font (ttf file) that sits on your server for heading (usually bold) and body/list text (usually regular).
• URL to image to use as header
• Position header image
• Exclude title header from top of PDF
• Choose fields for title header
• Image size to use in PDF. Defaults to "hdr", but for some installs this is huge and unnecessary.
• Set image height (inches)
• Position title line and image horizontally (L,C,R)
• Fields to include (2 fields, multiselect and comma separated list of metadata field IDs, ie: 67,73,78,etc)
• Integration with whereabouts plugin (if installed)
• Integration with rs_barcode plugin (if installed)
