By default the PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce plugin restricts the view access for PDF documents to only users with manage_woocommerce capabilities or to logged-in customers from the ‘My Account‘ page on the frontend.
Sometimes there is a need to display a button or link for viewing and/or downloading the document, outside these parameters – which requires a different approach. For example, one might need to display the Invoice link on the thank you page or in an email.
