Fixes a bug that could leave the Review step empty after a reload, with Generate PDF disabled and no way to finish your packet. Also corrects specification labels that printed abbreviations like UL as "Ul" in generated PDFs.<\/p>","1.1.5":"
Requires WordPress 6.2+ and PHP 8.1+. Updates the bundled PDF libraries, including a dompdf security release. Generated PDFs and backups move to new uploads folders with randomized filenames; links you already shared keep working. Front-end packets are now limited to 100 products by default.<\/p>","1.1.4":"
Fixes two Settings controls that did nothing: local autosave now takes effect, and remove-data-on-uninstall can now be enabled. Also stops the Branding and Settings pages from resetting each other's fields, removes a redundant bundled PDF library, and hardens PDF output.<\/p>","1.1.1":"
Fixes an unclosed output buffer in the PDF generation endpoint. No user-facing changes.<\/p>","1.1.0":"
Hardens REST API permission checks. Previously public diagnostic endpoints now require admin capabilities. No user-facing changes for legitimate use.<\/p>","1.0.9":"
Removes unused vendor library and tightens naming-convention compliance for WordPress.org review. No user-facing changes.<\/p>","1.0.8":"
Moves admin-page inline CSS\/JS into admin_enqueue_scripts hooks for reliable enqueuing. No user-facing changes.<\/p>","1.0.7":"
Removes legacy licensing\/telemetry code and plugin attribution links to comply with WordPress.org Plugin Directory Guidelines. No functional changes for free-tier users.<\/p>"},"ratings":[],"assets_icons":{"icon-128x128.png":{"filename":"icon-128x128.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"128x128","location":"assets","locale":"","width":128,"height":128},"icon-256x256.png":{"filename":"icon-256x256.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"256x256","location":"assets","locale":"","width":256,"height":256}},"assets_banners":{"banner-1544x500.png":{"filename":"banner-1544x500.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"1544x500","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1544,"height":500},"banner-772x250.png":{"filename":"banner-772x250.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"772x250","location":"assets","locale":"","width":772,"height":250}},"assets_blueprints":{},"all_blocks":[],"tagged_versions":["1.1.5","1.1.6"],"block_files":[],"assets_screenshots":{"screenshot-1.png":{"filename":"screenshot-1.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"1","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1600,"height":1123},"screenshot-2.png":{"filename":"screenshot-2.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"2","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1600,"height":1000},"screenshot-3.png":{"filename":"screenshot-3.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"3","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1600,"height":1330},"screenshot-4.png":{"filename":"screenshot-4.png","revision":3655596,"resolution":"4","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1600,"height":641},"screenshot-5.png":{"filename":"screenshot-5.png","revision":3655596,"resolution":"5","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1280,"height":1635},"screenshot-6.png":{"filename":"screenshot-6.png","revision":3655596,"resolution":"6","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1280,"height":1635},"screenshot-7.png":{"filename":"screenshot-7.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"7","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1600,"height":899},"screenshot-8.png":{"filename":"screenshot-8.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"8","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1600,"height":899},"screenshot-9.png":{"filename":"screenshot-9.png","revision":3655054,"resolution":"9","location":"assets","locale":"","width":1600,"height":899}},"screenshots":{"1":"Product

Submittal & Spec Sheet Builder<\/strong> helps manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and distributors create professional submittal packets and product spec sheets in minutes \u2014 right inside WordPress.<\/p>\n\n Whether you're creating construction submittals or managing a complex product catalog with thousands of SKUs (landscape supplies, industrial fasteners, equipment, flooring, etc.), this plugin lets customers browse your catalog and build their own spec sheets.<\/p>\n\n Forget clunky spreadsheets and manual formatting. With this plugin you can:<\/p>\n\n Fast, flexible, and built for the real world \u2014 ideal for construction professionals creating submittals, distributors with complex catalogs (landscape supplies, industrial parts, equipment), and any B2B business with hundreds of products that need professional spec sheets.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n This plugin stores all data locally in your WordPress database. Product catalog entries, branding settings, and generated PDFs all stay on your site: none of it is sent to the plugin author, to an analytics or telemetry service, or to any outside processing service. The one outbound request the plugin can make is described at the end of this section \u2014 while a PDF renders, an image you configured (such as your Media Library logo) is fetched by URL from your own site or uploads location.<\/p>\n\n Visitor selections are held in the browser while the visitor browses and reviews. Submittal Builder > Settings has a \"Enable local autosave\" switch: when it is on, a visitor's selections are kept in their own browser's local storage so a reload does not lose their work; when it is off, the plugin writes nothing to local storage and selections last only for the current visit. Browsing and reviewing alone create no draft, record, or database entry on the server.<\/p>\n\n Generating a PDF is different, because a file has to be produced. When a visitor clicks Generate, the project name, the products they selected, and the specification values and per-item notes attached to those products are rendered into the PDF, and that PDF is saved on your server under your WordPress uploads folder (wp-content\/uploads\/sssb\/). It stays there until you delete it. The selections are still not written to the database as a separate record \u2014 the generated PDF is the copy that persists.<\/p>\n\n Each generated PDF is given a randomized, unpredictable filename, so its URL cannot be guessed or arrived at by trying likely project names and dates. It is still an ordinary file in your uploads folder, served like any other upload: anyone holding the link can open it, and no login is required to do so. Treat the link as the credential, and delete old packets you no longer want available.<\/p>\n\n The same Settings page has a \"Remove all plugin data when uninstalling\" switch. It is off by default, so deleting the plugin leaves your branding settings, catalog tables, and generated PDFs in place. Turn it on if you want deleting the plugin to remove them.<\/p>\n\n IP addresses are never stored in plain text. Where an IP address is needed for request rate limiting, only a hashed value is kept.<\/p>\n\n The plugin does not include any analytics or telemetry, sends nothing to the plugin author, performs no remote license validation, and never transmits your catalog, branding, or a visitor's selections to any outside service. PDF generation runs entirely on your own server using a bundled, GPL-compatible PDF library (Dompdf, LGPL). The one outbound request the plugin can make is while building a PDF: images you configured, such as the company logo you picked from your Media Library, are fetched by URL. Those requests are restricted to your own site's address and your WordPress uploads location, so if a plugin or CDN serves your media from another host, that host is included; no other destination is permitted, and nothing a site visitor submits can add one.<\/p>\n\n Project-level notes are a separate case worth stating plainly: the review screen offers a project notes field, and the free plugin does not render it into the generated PDF. It is held in the visitor's browser alongside their selections and is not saved to your database.<\/p>\n\n\n No. Your catalog, branding, and visitor selections are stored and processed on your own site, and none of it is sent anywhere else. There is no analytics, no telemetry, and no remote license check. The PDF itself is built on your own server by a bundled library, not by an outside service. The only outbound request the plugin can make is fetching images you configured, such as your Media Library logo, while a PDF renders \u2014 and those requests are limited to your own site and uploads location. See the Privacy section for details.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes \u2014 Submittal Builder > Branding controls your company logo, name, address, phone number, and website; the primary brand color; the PDF theme; and whether new submittals include a cover sheet by default. A live preview shows your changes before you save.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes \u2014 you can import existing data or use pre-made industry packs for faster setup.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The shortcode works inside Elementor, Gutenberg, and most other editors.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n Initial WordPress.org release<\/p>\n\n\n
