Individual PDF Download Activity

This Moodle activity plugin lets teachers upload a PDF template with placeholder fields. When a student opens the activity, a personalized PDF is generated and downloaded, automatically filled with the student’s name, ID, email, and date.
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
