HI all, particularly maxigas

A French colleague inquired whether JoPP was archived in any databases
including the "easier to get into" Directory of Open Access Journals
(DOAJ). This seems like a pretty good fit for us. I checked it out and
it does not seem too bad so I'm willing to give it a go.

However there are a few questions I'm not sure about. I've copied them
all below but the most important issues IMO are PDFs and copyright.
PDF
We used to have a PDF generator for articles. This broke and was meant
to be repaired...? This absence limits our ability to be picked up by
search engines and archived in other databases.
@Peter (and maxigas): is there a solution in sight?
This is absolutely my sin, I signed up for testing and recommending aPDF renderer plugin for Wordpress and I never got around to put in thenecessary work. I would also like JoPP to be listed in databases so Iwill try to do this soonish, but in order not to stress myself I wouldsay "this year".
I've been playing around with pdf plugins when we were restoring the site and moving it to its new server.
I had the intention to reinstate the pdf functionality for one of the last issues but was out of the loop regarding editorial progress.
Maybe we can make an effort to, indeed, resolve the issue "this year" (some light coding required and a good way to make sure the pdf move nicely from the edit-suite to the published front end)
