The settings described below are used with the tag ##export:all## or ##export:page##. Usually you won't that users can directly access this view, but only download the PDF. To generate a download link from within an entry, this would be the pattern to use:

#{{viewlink:NameOfThePDFView;Text of the link to display;pdfexportentry=##entryid##|dest=D|docname=PDFName##author:firstname##-##author:lastname##;}}#

The above link will generate a download link with the entry id of the current entry, and the name of the author of the entry included in the filename of the PDF.

Name of the document. You should also be able to user placeholders like ##author:firstname## for the name.
