Phoca PDF (Shaper Helix Ultimate Template)

Hello,
I have a Joomla 6.1.1 website using the Shaper Helix Ultimate template (version 2.2.9).
I would like to display a **PDF Generate/Download** button for my articles.
I have already installed and enabled the following extensions:

* Phoca PDF 5.2.1
* Phoca PDF Content Plugin 5.2.0
* Phoca PDF System Plugin 5.1.0

However, I cannot get the PDF button to appear on my articles.

Could you please help me identify what I might be missing? Is there an additional plugin, configuration setting, or template override required to display the PDF button when using Helix Ultimate?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, the system plugin tries to detect the part in article where it can paste the PDF button. This works for standard articles. I don't know Helix but if it changes the output and is completely different, then such button needs to be added into the template override manually :idea:

I've never done anything with overrides before, how can I do it so that the PDF button is back in Helix Ultimate

ChatGPT created a working solution for me.
Change the default.php in the directory: httpdocs/plugins/system/helixultimate/overrides/com_content/article
