3. ✅ Advise members to **change passwords** immediately
4. ✅ **Don't email** PDFs to unsecured addresses
5. ✅ Consider implementing **password-protected PDFs** (future enhancement)

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

**Solution:** Upload members first - button only appears after successful upload
### **PDF download fails**
**Solution:**
- Check TCPDF is installed: `composer require tecnickcom/tcpdf`
- Verify `vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/` folder exists
- Check PHP memory limit (increase if needed)
### **PDF shows no data**
**Solution:**
- Ensure upload was successful
- Check session data exists
- Try uploading again
### **Class 'TCPDF' not found**
